I have also read some interviews where he was talking about some of the things that inspired him, and I remember him specifically talking about Galad being his interpretation of a classic AD&D paladin.Notice that Galad is exceptionally charismatic and good looking. Almost inhumanly so (like he has a Charisma 17 or 18). He is also a badass warrior (perhaps STR 18/xx?) thus alluding to him meeting all the stringent 1e ability score requirements necessary to qualify for the paladin class.And he follows an absolute and uncompromising moral code that has often put him at odds with the rest of the protagonists. The other thing I like is that Galad has that classic 1e ruthless crusader paladin vibe in the sense that he will mercilessly cut down anyone he believes is evil, utterly secure in the righteousness of his cause.</blockquote>
