This is (obviously) the fictional edition of my other hit thread, Name That Dead Guy!

This has similar rules to the other one but with a few changes to make things fair. You are not allowed to use a dead from a book/movie/whatever as your dead guy and say he's dead only because the book/movie/whatever takes place in a time that ensure's he's dead by now. If you're doing someone from, say Lord of the Rings or Elder Scrolls lore however, then that's a different story assuming that they're dead by the time of another book/game.

It's not a rule, but please be considerate of other people. If you have any decency then you won't pick a character from a new and trending show/movie/whatever (I.E. try not to spoil things).

People who are dead in the beginning of a crime solving show and have no real part are strictly prohibited as that would just be cruel.

The other rules are in the other thread which I linked to. I can't think of any other rules at the moment, if I do I'll post them.

Right, so I don't read all that much, there are only a few fictional things that interest me too terribly much and some of that will be pretty easy, and I don't want that, so I'll probably be sticking mostly to obscure (but not too obscure) Elder Scrolls characters. Whether they are just in lore or in the games.

I am thinking of a dead lady from the Elder Scrolls, not exactly obscure, but I rather doubt it'll be quickly guessed. For this one, I even allow you to use the Elder Scrolls wiki as an aid for your guessing. Good luck and good guessing!

Starship Troopers?
Science Fiction?
Fictional history?
did he die in-text, or was his death mentioned?


No
no
no (but it is fiction)
...no. Well, yes. Kind of. He had an "off screen" (off page?) death, though some characters think that he did not die (though he almost certainly did).

Did it take place in the 1900s?

2000s?

Did the book cover a war (and all its facets like WWZ)?

Was the war a backdrop for the story?

no
no, but it is hard to tell
yes
no

hint- you should probably be trying to figure out more about the character, rather than the plot or setting.

I'm leaving on a two week long adventure, so I suppose I should give it away.

General Woundwort. From Watership Down. He was a rabbit. (Gantic once mentioned it as being among his favorite books in one of his many AMW threads) .

Here's a pic:

First person to post the authors name gets to pick the next character.

Never would've guessed, as i've never heard of the book before.

What Richard Adams wrote sounds interesting, although the ending sounds a little weird.

yes i used wikipeida, sue me.

Is it Doctor Who related?
Is it Master (don't answer that yet, I'm still in the middle of those episodes, I don't want to know if he dies).
Is he an alien?
