Posts from In your opinion, which hero has the most charisma in the campaign?

But in the case of Railag, who first broke away from the rule of one, all-powerful Overlord (six princes are six princes; in an internecine war, it is often not the one who was initially one of the leaders who wins), then won a similar internecine war, taking advantage of one of the weakest dark elf Clans, and then outsmarted (though not without the help of other heroes) the leader of the strongest of the existing alliances on his own turf.

Stalin, firstly, is not particularly charismatic, in my opinion, but even if he was, he only intimidated those who held some power. All other Soviet people fought for an idea, not because they were afraid of concentration camps.

The Overlord was originally just a simple demon, not some "overpowered demon lord." He gathered followers around him, staged a coup, eliminating six demon princes, and came to power in Sheol. This is the canonical story. So, he turned out to be a strong leader.

That's how he became the Lord, overthrowing Mal-Beleth and establishing an absolute monarchy in Shio. He prevented the demons from descending into civil war, and considering the nature of demons, this was quite possible, especially since six of the elder chaos lords perished, leaving only the younger ones, who were once deprived of power.

Mал-Belekh is Kha-Belekh. According to Ubisoft themselves.

In my opinion, no. Mal-Beleth is the first Overlord. I'm not entirely sure.

Ubisoft was asked, "Who are Ilat and Mal-Belekh? Are they related to Silat and Kha-Belekh?" They replied that "Different cultures have different versions of names, hence the difference."

Instead of Isabel, he put Biara in her place. And in doing so, he struck at the enemy's weak spot.

because in the end, everyone will still be right for themselves.

Honestly, it's not very clear how the real Isabel managed to quietly leave with Raelag, and how these slowpokes managed to bring Biara with them. Unless, I have a theory where, while everyone was asleep, Raelag suggested that Isabel leave the group, and when they left, Biara took the opportunity and took the place of the real queen. But in that case, luck plays a bigger role than charisma and the awesomeness of this particular ruler.

But why? They gave Isabel to Railagu, and these three were given Biara. But how exactly, is unknown.

Markel, yes, he's a good guy. However, it's hard to call him charismatic. Only the heartbroken Isabel believed him.

So what? The main thing is that the queen believed him, which allowed him to put his plan into action.

So this Kha-Beleth, who spent his entire life sitting in a prison...

...and lost on his own territory.

Markel lost because he usurped power and turned all Seven Cities of the Academy, Irollan, and half of the Griffin Empire against him, not to mention that he was also at war with demons. He couldn't possibly win! He's a fool, even though he came to power in such an unusual way.

A queen who cannot maintain her power. A queen who no longer cares about the world's problems, who believed some scoundrel. As Caldwell said: "She got mixed up with necromancers, turned the empire into ruins..." The entire empire, from Archbishop Randall to the last peasant in the most remote village, hated her while she was on the throne. And Markel didn't realize this.

A small digression for a big leap.

And if you lock someone with all magical seals, giving up your flesh and using all your power. The entire life of the Overlord was the creation of a grand plan for his own liberation. And it must be admitted that the plan was brilliant. Kha-Beleth took everything into account, except for Arantir. From his prison, he perfectly coped with his task, and as a result, he turned Askhan into a pile of stones.

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.

Who did he instill fear in? Who was afraid of him, besides Wier?

And these same dark deeds led to his downfall.

The jump is to send Biara into the Griffin Empire.

If even Urgash with six lords was locked up, what chance did he have?
