I was wandering around the internet today and came across this. Written by Raymond E Feist, who in my opinion is the single greatest fantasy writer since Tolkien. This, more than anything anyone at IQ has said, explains Mr Roehm.
"I have no "evil" characters in my novels. I have characters who do evil things, but that's not the same thing. Everyone is the hero of his/her own life story."
You're welcome.
