Regine Abel asked Bryan Pentelow:

Which of your characters do you identify with the most and why?

Bryan Pentelow I am forced to split my allegiance between two, one from each of my current series, the Sprocket Sagas(Brassroyd) and Sea Change/Look to the Stars (Bryan Prentice).
Brassroyd has my inability to throw away anything which may be useful, and I have a garage full of things which will come in handy one day. He also has a love of Brass Band music and a delight in his 'grandchildren' who keep him busy and interested in their doings.
Brian Prentice, on the other hand, has my dissatisfaction with life and my lack of control over what is done in my name by those in power.
I wrote the first book to get down on paper many of the thoughts that had been cluttering up my brain for years and only realised how close he was to me when a new friend and reader said that having met me he could now tie down the character's voice. The books are not autobiographical but sometimes when working the second(WIP) I wish they were.
