Nathaniel hardly grew up with Lovelace... he met him a couple of times and that was about it. |

Quite. Hardly the sort of person he's going to want to be like. |

He's like every powerful magician. He didn't set out to become like Lovelace, he set out to better the other government magicians. |

John Mandrake was far from noble. Only Nat was noble. |

More to the point, John was like every ambitious magician. Regardless, the Lovelace-Mandrake similarities *were* intentional. |

No, because Nathaniel beat John Mandrake at the end, and because Stroud is not currently writing his character. |

In the author's opinion Barti is the main character, but I've always felt that even though I don't like Nat, that he was who the story was about. This is me getting back to the orininal topic |

Amulet of Samarkand, the main character was Nat Golems Eye: Kitty Ptolemy's gate: Bart or at least that's how I see it... |

1: Nathaniel, Bartimaeus. 2. Nathaniel, Bartimaeus, Kitty. 3. Nathaniel, Bartimaeus, Kitty. (maybe a bit of Ptolemy, too.) |

Eh, idk bout Ptolemy in PG. Yes, his name's in the title, but in reality the flashbacks are explaining more about why Bartimaeus cared for Ptolemy so much... I see it as a plot tool more than a main character. |

Book 1: The main characters were Nat and Bart, but the character Stroud focused on more was Nat. Book 2: The main characters were Nat, Bart and Kitty, Stroud focused on Kitty more than the other two. Book 3: The main characters were Nat, Bart and Kitty, but Bart was the character Stroud focused on in this book. |
