Who are some iconic fantasy heroes and villains?

Some iconic fantasy heroes include Aragorn from 'The Lord of the Rings' and Harry Potter. Villains like Sauron and Voldemort are also memorable. What specific traits or stories are you interested in?

I'm curious about their backstories and motivations.

Aragorn, raised as a ranger, is driven by his destiny to reclaim the throne of Gondor. Voldemort, on the other hand, seeks power and immortality, stemming from his fear of death. Would you like to explore a specific character's journey?

Yes, tell me more about Voldemort.

Voldemort, born Tom Riddle, was orphaned and grew up in a Muggle orphanage. His quest for power began early, fueled by his magical abilities and a desire to conquer death. His fear of being weak drives his actions throughout the series.

What about heroes who have dark pasts?

Characters like Elrond and even Batman have dark pasts that shape their heroism. Elrond lost his brother and mother, while Batman witnessed his parents' murder. These experiences fuel their commitment to justice.
