Steerpike
STEERPIKE
As played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the min-series "Gormenghast" based on the trilogy (Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone) by Mervyn Peake
Steerpike dark
Sneering, leering, conniving
Cunning, calculating, killer

AMBITIOUS
The kitchen boy who would be Earl of Gormenghast - or at least bring down the family.
And he succeeds, in part.
Lying, clever, he sucks up enough
Kills off his enemies
and falsely woos Lady Fuschia - all for power.
All hail Steerpike,
Mr. Secretary to you.
R.I.P.
Steerpike
Steerpike rise
Steerpike is *now* on the Top Ten
