Cohen The Barbarian
Cohen the Barbarian was a hero but is now in old age. When he was first introduced in The Light Fantastic, he had lost all his teeth and sounded really weird. At that point, he was also really sick of constantly eating soup, but halfway through The Light Fantastic he finds some scattered pieces of diamond from a troll's tooth and later has the diamond shards used to make him fake teeth. Also in The Light Fantastic, Cohen marries a young woman who is almost a century younger than him and they have a daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words cohen and/or barbarian:
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“But we still remember ... above all, the cool, free aspect of the wild apple trees, generously proffering their fruit to us, though still green and crude,—the hard, round, glossy fruit, which, if not ripe, still was not poison, but New English too, brought hither, its ancestors, by ours once. These gentler trees imparted a half-civilized and twilight aspect to the otherwise barbarian land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
