The NPC of the Month award for the January 2008 event goes to Tommy Nichols for his moving portrayal of the now-free Pentir Knight, Lothain. Tommy portrayed the tragic character in ways that provoked emotion even from those who did not have direct interactions with him. As an enslaved undead Knight, Tommy portrayed both the relentless devotion to the Arcanum’s wishes as well as the deep sadness, remorse, and pain of his current state. Then, upon the freeing of his soul, Tommy as Lothain happily walked out into the frigid cold and exuded joy over the little things normal “living” people would take for granted; for instance, seeing his own breath and the taste of food. Tommy has done an amazing job both at and between events developing this character, and his dedication and immersion is sincerely appreciated.
