The Shannara Chronicles‘ Desmond Chaim might be the big bad on the show, but if you need to know anything about him, he’s actually a big nerd.
In fact, he admits to “being an Elven ranger or some derivative in almost every MMORPG you could name,” in a recent interview.
And if you have a question about any of the books that inspired the Spike show, you go to him.
“I think I’m probably well known in the Shannara crew and cast for obnoxiously pointing out wherever possible that I’ve read the books,” Desmond shared. “‘Hey, what’re you reading? New Zealand Travel guide? Cool, let me tell you about another book. Called Sword of Shannara. That I’ve read.’”
He adds that he still proudly has them on his bookshelf today.
Tonight, we’ll have two all-new back-to-back episodes on Spike. In “Warlock”, Bandon and his followers race to resurrect the Warlock Lord while Mareth must risk everything before it’s too late.
Then in “Amberle”, Wil must confront his past and the bond between Allanon and Mareth continues to grow.
The Shannara Chronicles airs TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT on Spike.
