Demon

"Jimmy Page is one of the great guitarists in modern music. Not only is he a master of rock blues, but in his brilliant performance of the instrumental 'White Summer' (an old track from the Yardbirds), Page proved himself able to do anything on the guitar. Many rock guitarists play fast, but Page, while playing super fast, actually manages to hit the right notes. At the same time, he is a demon on stage, running about with his head down, playing his leads off of Plant's vocals, or working his guitar strings with a violin bow that he keeps with him at all times."

- From the Oct. 17, 1969 New York concert review (Cashbox)

the "each bg3 character is a subversion of their usual class traits except halsin" is one of my favorite discussions but i think halsin is also a subversion he is just harder to pick out

when he kills he feels it is out of necessity and doesnt regret it even though life is lost vs. traditional druid who feels All Life is Sacred

part of druid group and was selected as the leader but is actually too much of a free soul and doesnt actually want to stay there vs. the reclusive druid who must be convinced to trek the world

halsin being a notorious bedbreaking harlot vs. the sexless-druid who is detached from intercourse/interpersonal sexual relationships

built like he got 10 meals a day vs. the tight-bodied lithe druid

I love his character, I feel like he is a druid who worships nature by experiencing it to the fullest. Which is why he doesnt take issue with things like sex and killing. It also contextualizes why he was chosen as the leader of the druid camp but wasnt happy in the position. Halsin doesnt want to be an overseer of nature, he wants to be a participant who walks and grows and fucks as much as he can
