ARAMIS (Kolme Muskettisoturia – The Three Musketeers)

”He knows our motto: every man for himself!”

Kaikki neljä muskettisoturia olisivat ansainneet paikan tällä listalla, mutta valitsin mukaan vain Aramiksen. Oikeastaanhan Aramis ei edes haluaisi olla muskettisoturi vaan ennemmin pappi, ja loppujen lopuksi hän toteuttaakin unelmansa. Olen pitänyt muskettisotureista pienestä pitäen, ja Aramis on ollut suosikkini käytännössä aina – se hiukkasen outo mutta älykäs heppuli, joka vastahakoisuudestaan huolimatta on ihan yhtä urhea kuin muutkin. Tämän kuvan inspiroi BBC:n The Musketeers -sarja, jossa Aramista esittää Santiago Cabrera.

Each one of the four musketeers would have earned a place on this list but I chose Aramis. Actually he wouldn’t even like to be a musketeer, he’d rather be a priest and in the end he really does become one. I’ve loved The Three Musketeers ever since I was small, and Aramis has basically always been my favourite character – the little weird but smart fellow, who, dispite the fact that he doesn’t consider himself to be a warrior, is just as brave as anyone else. This picture is inspired by BBC’s The Musketeers where Aramis was played by Santiago Cabrera.
