Who is Sardoken?
I don’t really have a background story for Sardoken… He doesn’t come out of a tale filled with heroism… Instead, I always pictured him being a mix between two different personalities.
His first half would be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for his heroic image and his muscles. No challenge seems big enough for such a character, he’s always ready to jump of a cliff to rescue his old neighbour’s cat…
The other half is Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter, not for his cowardice, but for being a total jackass. Always smiling to the ladies, he walks down the streets as if he was leading the parade. His favourite quote would be “It’s not because you’re not as fabulous as I am, that you’re not fabulous at all!”.
You mix these two guys and you get Sardoken, always looking for a challenge, always ending up in perillous situations and, eventhough he always gets rescued by the fearless Soforah, he always manages to get out of the danger with a charming smile, as if he just saved everyone. A real hero…
