Pick Your Favorite Novel Character

Apparently people were eager to vote for which character they'd like to see return in a future game, so this week we're looking at which character you'd like to come back in a future novel. We've narrowed it down to popular novel characters still alive in the "current" frame of reference, though I suppose prequel novels and other things make many more people possible. Maniac won our last poll, with Paladin, Panther and Bondarevsky coming in after that.
