However, he managed to instill such fear that no one dared to touch him. Plus, he could create a huge number of undead minions if he hadn't been defeated. But overall, the Beaverfolk were lucky that they managed to deal with him (according to the laws of logic, he wouldn't have been hiding in some hole, waiting for them to corner him and kill him, but everyone seemed to not care).
However, this did not prevent him from doing his dirty deeds and seizing the Empire for himself.
Luck is that Isabel somehow managed to escape with Railag without raising suspicion, so that Biara could take her place? What a big leap.
But if he hadn't been such a fool and had shown more of his coolness, then no one would have locked him up anywhere.
In general, you can write a lot of posts on this topic, but it won't lead to anything. In the end, everyone has the right to their own opinion, and in this topic, it is precisely an opinion that is being asked. You, like me and some others, consider Kha-Belekh charismatic - great, it means that the developers were not working in vain when they worked on him. We do not consider him so - it is our right, but there is no need to turn this into a whole discussion, which in the end will not give anyone anything. I think Markel is charismatic, as do some others, and that is also my right. And a dispute on this topic will also not give anything, because everyone, I think, will be able to defend and prove their point of view. Therefore, I suggest closing this dispute in this thread, because it looks more like a meaningless padding of posts, which does not carry any informative load.
Весьма хороший попутчик... До первого перекрестка.
