Hear Us Roar Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I like his name, need to see more to make a final judgement. But he seems like a youthful, short-sighted and is a ultra nationalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo1 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I thought he was cool, based on the most dangerous man comment, but then after reading the posts, it occurred to me that he was both incompetent and a douche. He tried to kill a sweet little girl (which makes him a douche), and he fails miserably (which makes him an incompetent douche). He clearly knows he is outmatched by Hotah, so he runs away like a little girl (after maiming a little girl, who seems to have more sack than he does). Sexist commentary done.

A Schwartz to be reckoned Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I don't think it's the name that makes him less than compelling. I am pretty sure it's the fact that he has only even tried to do one thing and failed at it that accomplishes that feat. The name to me just sounds like some cheesy sith lord. I am however compelled to know what makes him "of the night" exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchface12 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Of course its a terrible name. But he is a terrible character. Therefore the name should be left alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salt Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 To be fair, if your name was Gerold you might come up with a nickname too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blisscraft Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 A vampire hooker. He sounds more and more like Frankenfurter from the Rocky Horror Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lan the Clever Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Sure, if he called himself Nova I would like him a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qhorin Halfhand and Yoren Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 No, he would not be more compelling with a less ridiculous name.I barely noticed him, not a particularly compelling, developed character who deserves much discussion. I would wait to see what Martin does with him in later books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark@heart Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I like him from the start. The whole mysterious, good looking bad boy vibe but when he said his name was "Darkstar" and he was "of the night" I cracked up. It reminded me so much of Batman.Then he does the unexpected and tries to kill Mycella (and fails) which makes him out to be a douche. He must feel like a douche too, all these years living in Arthur Daynes shadow and he finally gets a chance to make a name for himself, not as an honorable man or great fighter but still, something to call his own and he botches it and now he's known as the douche that tried to kill a little Lannister girl and failed.I think we'll see him again. He might even be with Aegon. When I think of him, I think of something Quaithe said to Dany. Dragons old and young, light and dark, etc so maybe, just maybe.If Aegon can show up this late in the story and be a Targ (maybe a Blackfyre Trag) ,then why not Darkstar?Until we know who his parents are I say he's a candidate. If Aerys could take liberties with Tywin's wife , then why not with the handmaiden of his son's wife? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
