I fell hook, line and sinker for the Lymond glamour at fourteen, though he was never actually my favorite character. These days, my attitude towards him is mostly 'tolerant affection, and sympathy for those who have to deal with him,' which in no way lessens my love for the books overall - I love Dunnett's prose so much that I have a fondness even for the flaws.
(:O LUCKY.)
Niccolo does pretty much the same thing as Lymond, what with the wilfully allowing people to go on misunderstanding him, but I think Dunnett gives him much less of a free pass for it, which is nice!
