While I loved them all, there were three characters that made the biggest impact on me.
Mason, because of the character's evolution. He always seemed to be on the outside of what was going on, but still knew everything. When he goes into the compound in American Death Camp, and his manicness throughout Kissing Mister Quimper were the high points. He was missed in Volume III.
From Entropy in the UK on, Dane was one of the best characters, largely because he was such a contrast to what he was earlier. His fight with the King Archon, and his psychic surgery on KM were highlights. And giving Miles his aura back was another great character moment. And if nothing else but to show how much he'd grown, the dancing sequence in Counting to None was powerful.
And of course, King Mob. The way Morrison developed the character over the series was incredible, and the way his own self-realizaton of his actions paralleled the audience was great. At first, I loved his killing, and the over the top violence, but as he began to realize what it did to others, so did I. The moments of humanity in the killer made him real. My favorite moment was probably, "We were so fucking cool, Jacqui," since it captures everything he wanted to be, and brutally compares it to what he is.
But, they're all part of one whole, and every single character in the book is great, except Helga, but only because she wasn't developed enough. |

So I could relate to her character a lot, and she had some of the best lines of the series. Oh yeah, she was sexy as hell too, in or out of costume.
