Personally I'd suggest the rook symbol used for whatever the construction company in-game is called (I remember it was some injoke or reference to Cryptic), and also used for the Gamester Winter event this year.
EDIT: That, or Gormenghast, seeing as there's at least one reference to it in an NPC civilian line in-game.

The ingame construction company, CAGE, uses the Cryptic Sutdios logo, which is a factory, not a castle. Still works, kind of, though.

I've asked him in PM what kind of imagery (super-hero partciularly) he prefers, but he never answered. Perhaps he just thinks of himself as very Linear minded, one step up from a pawn so to speak. (Oof, bad Chess pun) ...and doesn't want an Icon.
Castle needs something awesome...
Like... Like... A duck! Or a Wallabee... Or a Squirrel!

I recall back on the CoV boards when he introduced himself, he said he never uses an avatar. I figure it makes sense, since he was (is?) the Stalker rep, and even if he had an avatar you wouldn't be able to see it. In fact, maybe he DOES have an avatar. RIGHT NOW.

THIS may be more appropriate.

Not that one. It was around during construction of either the Arenas or the Universities, I forget.
It's the same one used by the Gamester, which caused a fair bit of speculation on the forums.

DevCon, a Red Rook encircled twice. DevCon built the Arenas, and their logo was then used by the Gamester during the Winter 05 event. They currently have an office or complex in Cap au Diable.
Never surrender! Never give up!

_Castle_ has been a bastion (ha ha) of helpful insight into the deep and often puzzling aspects of CoH and CoV; he takes a look at things people whine about without prejudgement; the list goes on and on. And yet, in all this time, has yet to have an avatar to call his own. Statesman has one. Cuppa has one. Heck, Manticore has one, and he doesn't post nearly as often.
May the best avatar win!
And so I hereby declare, by the power I invested in me (neat how that works) an avatar contest! The winner will, of course, be picked by _Castle_, whether he wants to use it or not.
To kick things off, here are my submissions:
Castle #1
Castle #2
Castle #3
