Fan Casting V in V for Vendetta

V, the novel's protagonist, is an enigmatic anarchist revolutionary who systematically eliminates the leaders of Britain's fascist Norsefire government. V's true face is always concealed under a Guy Fawkes mask, wig, and black cape. V is a fearless, skilled fighter who shows an immense tolerance for pain, which he developed after being injected with a trial chemical at Larkhill Resettlement Camp. V often quotes literature when speaking, and has a penchant for theatricality.
