Kirth Gersen
Kirth Gersen is the fictional protagonist of the five Demon Princes science fiction novels by Jack Vance, set approximately 1500 years in the future. When he was a boy, he and his grandfather were the only members of a peaceful and harmless space colony to escape a massacre and slave raid (the "Mount Pleasant Massacre") perpetrated by pirates led by five master criminals known as the "Demon Princes." The grandfather devotes the rest of his life to training the young Gersen—on Earth, Alphanor and other central planets of the Oikumene—to be an assassin. The young Gersen's mission is to avenge the massacre by tracking down and summarily executing the Demon Princes.
