Titus Groan

"'What do I care for the symbolism of it all? What do I care if the castle's heart is sound or not? I don't want to be sound anyway! Anybody can be sound if they're always doing what they're told. I want to live! Can't you see? Oh, can't you see? I want to be myself, and become what I make myself, a person, a real live person and not a symbol anymore.'"

Titus Groan, the rebellious seventy-seventh earl of Gormenghast.

Titus is played by Cameron Powrie and Andrew Robertson in the BBC series
