Poll: Favorite Twilight Lady Villain
As you may have gathered from our latest tale, the times they are a’changin’ in ol’ Senserealm. Revolutionary discoveries are being made, power and knowledge are up for grabs, forces ancient and new are at work.
Many have embarked on a dangerous race to harness these forces, some exercising great care and a sense of responsibility, others allowing their ambition, their hubris, to go unchecked, willing to trample over anything, anyone, in the way of their obsessive quest.
It is the latter group who have formed the major antagonists of our saga so far, the ever-expanding rogues’ gallery of our Lady Who Haunts the Dark. But which scoundrel has most unerringly captured your attention? Without further ado, here’s a list of prime candidates, along with the story they first appeared in, and a link to a scene featuring said villain:
1) Jason Kane (“The Secret of Cass Corridor”)
2) Eleanor Rigby (“The Secret of Cass Corridor”)
3) P.T. Shaw (“The Disappeared”)
4) Marjorie Dreyfuss (“The Disappeared”)
5) The Huntress Belahm (“Oblivion Symphony”)
6) Nobelay (“Dance of the Indwellers”)
Just to clarify, in regards to Nobelay – I’m referring to every incarnation of Nobelay that appeared in “Indwellers” (if you’ve read it, you’ll know what I mean… don’t wish to spoil anything for those who haven’t, so I’ll say no more).
Along with your vote, any comments as to the reasons that character got your vote would be much appreciated… and enjoyed by all, I’m sure!

They’re all great, don’t get me wrong, but nothing can compare to Eleanor…
But is Eleanor really a villain?
Hm. Eleanor is the one whom I most want to know more about… though (or because?) she has tended to stay in the background, for the most part.
Eleanor’s intriguing, I admit. But she always struck me as a little unhinged or mentally imbalanced. Belahm, on the other hand, was very apparently an intelligent and sophisticated member of a truly other-than-human society; I really enjoyed learning of her culture, values, and etiquette.
I’ve always had a weakness for subtle, calculating, far-sighted masterminds. Especially the sort who can make everyone else, including their enemies, dance to their tune — and never even realize who’s playing the pipe.
I’d say that describes Eleanor quite well.
I say Eleanor myself. Eleanor seems to be one of those Villans that have a very convulted and elaborate master plan.
Thanks everyone for voting and for the helpful (and insightful) comments.
I’d break the news to Eleanor, but I suspect she already knows.
Somebody needs to tell Belahm that she came second. Any volunteers?
