Close Encounters of the Word Kind

In the course of finishing up my work on Wayfarer tonight, I met a new character that I had no idea existed until five minutes ago. I thought at first he was going to be insignificant, but I've already figured something out about his personality that makes him distinct from the other characters we've met so far, and even though he's being a bit evil at the moment, I kind of like him. Maybe he'll even get his own story one day.

I love it when stuff like this happens. I just hope it keeps happening, because I'll need to introduce a few more new characters before I finish the second half of this book...
