David Gemmell/YMMV


 * Alas Poor Villain: Happens from time to time.


 * Crowning Moment of Funny: In 'Hero in the Shadows' Yu Yu the Chiatze Ditch Digger seduces a maid in Waylander's palace. He is then confronted by some guardsmen who call him a slant-eyed pig and ask him why he feels he can steal their women. Yu Yu muddles up the translation and thinks he's being accused of stealing a woman's one-eyed pig.
 * Stavut from Swords of Night and Day: "Why am I taking seduction advice from a man who's idea of foreplay is to slam some coins on the table and ask 'Who wants to ride the big horse?'?"
 * Viruk The Avatar is a walking one of these, well when he's not murdering people
 * Magnificent Bastard: The Rigante series' Moidart, to levels almost rivalling his fellow Machiavelli-expy Lord Vetinari. Likewise, also his author's best-drawn Anti Villain.
 * And that's saying SOMETHING.
 * Tear Jerker: Hero in the Shadows, Sword in the Storm, Ravenheart and Stormrider all have heartbreaking climaxes.
