Cold. This character came much later than Conan. Think more high fantasy.

Prince Caspian?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Warming up. We are back in the correct genre, but he is quite a bit older than Caspian when we meet him. Additionally, the series he is in has not been adapted for film or television... yet.
I was very interested in this type of game when @Joe Kerr introduced it, because it not only helps us with our deductive reasoning, but gives the poster a chance to feed clues along the way, and we have to learn the balance between giving too much information and not enough. I think I might have given not enough information in some of the earlier clues (I was trying to make it more challenging since we've been going through these so quickly), and that one or two of the early clues might have been overlooked in later guesses, so I wanted to get them all together in one place in hopes that it makes things a bit more clear. Here is what we have learned so far:

Here is what we have learned so far:
- Has never been portrayed on stage (to the best of my knowledge)
- Features prominently in an epic fantasy series
- Excellent warrior and woodsman
- Uncrowned when he is introduced
- Not a young man
- Has no siblings
- Not a direct parallel of a specific legendary figure, but shares many traits with other characters in the "exile king" archetype
- Was created later than Conan the Barbarian (Conan was first published in 1932)
- High fantasy genre
- Not a movie or a TV show... yet.

Is it Perrin Aybara?

Smoking hot. He traveled with Perrin for a time.
Four guesses left, though I think we hardly need them at this point. Excellent guess, Lee.

Ace, then it's Rand al'Thor?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Not Rand, but still quite warm. Perrin was a closer guess, due to his past encounters with Elyas Machera.
Three.

Is it Lan Mandragoran?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Yes. One of my favorite characters in literature. Warder, warrior, uncrowned king of Malkier, and the name of my home wifi network, Lan is instrumental in the heroes' journey to overthrow the Dark One. Well done, Lee. I see there is no wool between your ears.

Been a long time since I read this series. This was still a tough one because you had to have read it to get the clues, ai?
Claire Yeon
V.I.L.E.
Indeed. For me, the hard part was responding to the guess about Aragorn, which I knew was bound to come early, without giving it away entirely. "Basically Aragorn, but in the 90s" would have ended the game much sooner.

I don't know about that. High Fantasy wasn't my favorite genre. Every name Lee wrote above went completely over my head.

"Napoleon attacked by rabbits" so I had to go google search it. "The story of Napoleon being "defeated" by rabbits during a hunt in 1807 is a humorous anecdote, but it's not a confirmed historical fact, though it is mentioned in General Thiébault's memoirs. "

You ever try to write something and you've rewritten it like ten times and you still don't like it? Yeah me too. Mega frustrating.
