What about Demandred? Sidious Send a noteboard - 30/04/2010 05:12:55 AM
We gotta remember that this series was supposed to be much shorter. Since all of the Chosen were "good" at some point, important people and pillars of the community, their flaws are well-remembered. This also highlights their respective personalities, and why they'd sell out *the whole world* for power. In a 3-4 book series, you don't need to do a lot more with the persona of 13 big bads.
Actually, by all indication, none of them were ever good. Exactly what about any of them suggests they were "good" people. Yes, some of them did do some good, but that was because of the way their society worked. They were playing along. There is no indication that they had any sort of genuine interest in being good people. They were always bad, and when the Dark One came, it gave them an outlet.

Posting a reply at the bottom of a long thread is a good way for your points to be overlooked. *NM* Cannoli - 30/04/2010 01:51:55 AM 402 Views

D'oh! How come I didn't immediately think of a politician? Seriously? Cannoli - 30/04/2010 12:45:35 PM 942 Views

Except LTT DID do good. You know, saving the world from the Dark One and all. He was good. QED Cannoli - 01/05/2010 05:06:31 PM 777 Views

You can do good without being good. It's mostly the system's fault (credit? ) Cannoli - 01/05/2010 11:30:16 PM 831 Views
