Who created Raistlin?
Margaret Weis, and arguably Terry Philips. During one of the gaming sessions in which the plot for the novels were mapped, Terry played Raistlin. He characterized Raistlin with his own acting, giving Raistlin a whispery voice and a cynical tone. Margaret Weis became enchanted with Raistlin (not Terry Philips!) and it is well known that he is her favorite character.
