“[norton’s] sense of humour has a vicious twinkle to it. […] norton is outrageous and ambiguous. he may be evil, he may be good, he’s certainly out for his own ends, and, in any situation he always says the most hideous thing; he seems spontaneous, but he’s also always seven moves ahead. he’s the kind of character who’d set fire to a carpet if he didn’t like a room, but it’d turn out that he was doing it to reveal a hidden trapdoor.”— James Goss on Norton Folgate
