Very accurate indeed. :P That's very much the angle I was going for, though I would say Glonor is a lot more complex than Tollubo in Frozen Calling. :P Much of his inspiration came from a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who. :P

As for the others, I very much agree. :P Glacii and Crystallus are quite similar, and Crystallus does have his own brilliant flare, though he's not on the same page as the others. He was a very innocent character and I like to think that killing him really hurt Glacii. :P

I specifically chose to include a prodominently male cast in Frozen Calling. Excluding the role of Ninian, the other females are shown to be somewhat vulnerable and helpless. :P Nokama is in need of protection. Glacii's wife is kidnapped and held hostage in the biker camp. And Lagira is forced to suffer from the death of her husband. This was all intentional primarily because I believe that female characters are too good at bringing about redemption and calming down the tension. In this story I wanted to fill the atmosphere with the oppressive, savage, darkness of man's heart and to focus on how things build up without a female present to calm the hysteria down. :P This technique was most noticeably used in Jekyll and Hyde as well. Do you think I managed to get that across in the story and, looking back, can you see how that might have played a part in your perception of the serial?
