I will just stick to talking about one of my personal favourites.
Wulbren
Yes, the fuck Wulbren. First of all, I like small bald guys, so he instantly scores a couple of points there together with Barcus (along with the duergar Morghal at the Grymforge welcoming party, short bald girls are also cute).
I also like flawed characters and Wulbren has an abundance of flaws. And I really enjoy and like the development that there is no fixing him. Through the loyal and sensible character of Barcus, the story makes you hope and think that there is a redemption for Wulbren at the end. But every time he shows up and you think you might be able to talk some sense into him this time, he gives you a big middle finger right in your face. I guess there's no real development happening, but I still changed my view several times through the lack of development. From finding him an ungrafeful bastard at first, to embracing some hope for redemption to finding him just awesome at the end because he is still the same ungrafeful bastard he was when you first met him. I think he is a great example of a well-written character that has a great character arc, without the need for some profound change or sudden revelation. Wulbren is gonna Wulbren and there's nothing you can do about it.
So yes, fuck Wulbren, both literally and figuratively!
