Because Raistlin is the original pathetic, emo, misunderstood hero. He is my number one fictional crush

Raistlin Majare. The younger weaker fraternal twin brother of Caramon Majere, hero of fucking everything. Classic neckbeard. Gets sent to the Tower as a mercy killing and ends up becoming a literal godkiller.

It's Elric of Melnibone aka Elric VIII, 428th Emperor of Melniboné aka the Eternal Champion aka Duke of Hell.

>after obtaining the legendary extra-dimensional demon alien sword Stormbringer, Elric became one the most feared swordsmen in the world. He is capable of going face to face with some the most powerful demons, demigods and entities by relaying on the soul sucking sword which in turn feed him stolen energies. While one hit from Stormbringer is enough to kill a mortal a demon or any other higher entity requires more than that. However Elric also gains powers from them. The complications is that Elric is shown to been under possession by absorbing demonic energies.

> Stormbringer's edge is capable of cutting through virtually any material not protected by potent sorcery, and it can drink the soul from (and thereby kill) an unprotected human upon delivering any wound, even a scratch. Its most distinctive features are that it has a mind and will of its own, and that it feeds upon the souls of those it kills. Elric loathes the sword but is almost helpless without the strength and vitality it confers on him.

That one book of Preludes where Raistlin and Caramon join up with Bast.

>> No.5561436

It's a four way tie, in my opinion. Believe it or not, Raistlin is one of them.

Raistlin, Elric of Melnibone, Severian, and Macbeth.

All should be self explanatory.
