Dark Souls II: Best NPC Character

On February 12th on the Dark Souls Facebook page,  From Software posted this question; "Who is your favorite NPC (non-playable character) in dark souls?" (Dark Souls) Out of the 100 entries posted the top six are graphed below:
The votes were posted in a month period and the overall numbers were Solaire Of Astora 45%, Artorias the Abyswalker 22%, Siegmeyer of Catarina 12%, Great Grey Wolf Sif 10%, Iron Tarkus 4% and the fans have spoken and have even included Dark Souls Lore You-tuber EpicNameBro 7% . The  total vote count was 5,449 and in the end Solaire Of Astora was the most picked. Comments ranged from the little and most known characters; everyone had there own personal favorites and comments such as "Sif!!!!" (Michael), "Solaire who else? Praise the sun!" (Dominic) and "ENB" (David). This was great feedback as From Software can take this information and focus on creating more characters who will have similar characteristics and connection as these NPC's that had great deal of connection towards the players. The next post will focus more on game play and known and confirmed mechanics; Dark Souls II is still in development and I await new information over the game.
