ARMY OF DARKNESS
Ben Barnes plays General Kirigan
How would you describe Kirigan’s relationship with Alina?
It’s interesting, because Kirigan’s the most powerful and the most knowing character in the world.
He knows that Alina is something extremely special and that she’s the antithesis to him in a lot of ways. He has the power to control the darkness, and she has the power to control the light. He knows that she’s important to him, which is an interesting jumping-off point for two characters to meet.
And Alina is looking at him thinking, “I know nothing about this man. He’s completely mysterious to me. I don’t know whose side he is on. I don’t know if he has my best interests at heart, but I know he knows more than me about what’s going on with me.”
