  Peter Blood is a compelling hero because he's so unusual. Heroes are often defined by their selflessness, but it's clear that Blood regrets the decisions he's made in the past to help others. Though he's compelled to do so by an oath, it's his caring side that's landed him in a life of pain. The strength, ruthlessness and cunning he exhibits in this story make him fun to follow. Shepard offers up a protagonist whose brilliant mind is a greater weapon than any one could use against him. Blood's genius makes him quite admirable and eminently readable as a protagonist.
