It's funny. A lot of people are making "nice" Imperials, probably due in large part to the propaganda that was disseminated by those who called themselves "Imperials" before Empire actually went live. Wilhath was supposed to be a nice guy initially as well, but Onglaurst changed that with his expectations of ruthlessness.

I thought you were a shoe-in for the War Master position because you were the first bloodoath of Onglaurst. You were a good one to have around. I thought you were a trustworthy ally and in Empire it's sometimes nice to have those even though those kinds of relationships should be in the minority.

I had a lot of respect for you because you were man enough to rank into the hero range while others sat just outside of it and charged their axes. C'est la vie.
