Best Fantasy generals
Hey guys,
I was thinking about some of the best generals in fantasy, especially the ones where you actually get to see their tactics and decision-making on the page, not just “they won because they’re awesome.”
Personally, my favorite has to be Mat Cauthon from The Wheel of Time. What I like about him is that he is not your typical noble savior with a main character syndrome, quite the opposite. He's not here to show off or to die for "honor", he gets jobs done and he doesn't buy the "hero" nonsense. Every body underestimates him, yet he always ends up making brilliant tactical decisions. His mix of cunning, luck, and dry humor makes him one of the most entertaining and unpredictable generals in fantasy.
I’m curious, who’s your favorite general in fantasy, and why? Do you think he could beat mine?
Looking forward to hearing your picks.
