For whom the bell tolls,
It's trolls for me.

phantom actually summed up all the important things about William, and that's exactly why I like him. However, I can't help my affection for traitors.

++Bill Ferny

Say, it's just this Breelander, who'd sell anything to anybody... and he was dealing with the Black Riders! Now, William would have been really cool had he had a contact with the Black Riders... alas, he didn't.

++William

Can't differentiate between the three trolls as my memory is faint, but they're all awesome.

William-4 Bill Ferny-3

Next, an interesting match:

Shagrat vs. Grima Wormtongue

++Grima

The nick Wormtongue alone gets him my vote.

Now this is what I call a hard choice. Two really nice baddies of about the same rank - they are both disgusting, in a way (I would not prefer to having them as friends, really), however, on the other hand I can still sympathise with them in some way (it would be cool to work with them - i.e. occassionally seeing them, as they'd have their own field of work - in Isengard/Cirith Ungol... although the latter is not a place I would like to be in that badly... Minas Morgul would be far better). They are both interesting characters, and really good villains.

Hmm... I have to choose yet

++Wormtongue

Because unlike an orc, he chose his lot in life.
