- Goddard from the book series arc of a scythe. Technically he's "honorable scythe Goddard", but he is in no way honorable and doesn't derserve the title scythe. which is, of course, just my opinion, so I'm sorry if you feel differently and I've offended you lol
Probably spoilers for the arc of a scythe books below,
so I'mma just put it in transparent.
OH MY GOSHHHHH. He's one of my least favorite characters of all time, ugh. I was soooo relieved when Rowan killed him, but when they said they couldn't find his whole body my relief evaporated and I started filling with dread. And then in the second book when scythe Rand takes tyger as her "apprentice", I just wanted to scream. If Rand was alive, then I was pretty sure Goddard was too. Oh boy, was I close. I literally died on the inside when he burst through the doors and got nominated as a candidate for high blade. And the Anastasia's inquest provided a little relief, as well as Rowan escaping Goddard's house on endura, but when Anastasia's inquest was granted, Goddard decided to destroy my relief again - as well as the island of endura.
I pretty much just sat there freaking out after the book left off on a big cliff hanger, with Goddard off to tell the world the big lie that he did get the position of high blade, and that endura had sunk "on accident", that it definitely wasn't his fault.
Just.... UGH. I hate him. So much. I hope he actually ends in the next book.
