Alatriste Characters: Captain Diego Alatriste

Today's drawing is Captain Alatriste, from the novel series by Arturo Perez-Reverte! I first read Perez-Reverte because I liked the Roman Polanski movie based on his novel The Club Dumas, even though everyone else I know hates it. Oh, well. The Alatriste series is fun - I've only read the first three books, as that was all that had been translated at the time that I read 'em. Maybe the rest are out? They made a movie of 'em, too, with Viggo Morteson. It was beautifully shot, but I fell asleep halfway through it.
