Fave Five Things about Saul Marshall
1. His sense of humour.
Unlike Vannevar Yeung – Saul’s loyal sidekick, who speaks in a stream of wise-cracks – Saul is far more sparing with his humour. But for Saul, less is more, and I have a lot of fun making sure he gives as good as he gets. I believe the best thriller protagonists are the ones that can see the dark humour in among the shit.
2. His fallibility.
Saul Marshall is a highly trained ex FBI agent, who also did a stint with the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, an elite special forces unit dedicated to saving lives. But whereas most protagonists with these sorts of credentials can’t put a foot wrong, and steamroller their enemies without breaking a sweat, Saul Marshall, like his real-life counterparts, often makes mistakes – sometimes big ones. I think this is more interesting, but also more honest.
3. His eyes.
At the risk of this sounding like a love letter, I like Saul’s eyes. As it so happens, they have never been referenced in the books as of yet. However, he has heterochromia iridis; in other words, his eyes are two different colours: one brown, one blue.
4. His sense of loyalty.
Saul doesn’t forget who his friends are, and always has their back – and it surely goes without saying, this is a damn fine trait. That said, if you cross him, there’ll invariably be hell to pay.
5. He does everything I tell him.
And this effectively makes me a spy handler – which is cool.
