>>6103334Hes definitely feeling more free to use his strength, and he should enjoy himself as he finds people he can rely on to do his will. Those paperwork duties are heavy and dull like iron chains hes gotten quite eager in shedding. I see subtle and unsubtle influence at work in his little outbursts. An allure to strength, power, aggression and passion, creativity itself as an expression and release. A bit of paranoia which to be fair is justified. If past forwardness was out of desperation now its from desire to exercise that power and push those limits. I would say much of these inclinations cleave more towards fel.
What fight does Alric want the most right now? To destroy Garithos's chance at taking Durnholde. A man we can hate easily right in our reach, waiting for the right stage and excuse to cut him down to size. I predict we might see it again next we see Alric get really angry, desperate, or flush with victory over someone he can really hate. Im from Alterac and I say kill'em all! I'm gonna love it.
Speaking of Conan I actually think Alric is getting closer to Elric of Melnibone. The use of magic as a swordsman, the potential addiction of (fel) magic that keep the body vital and its influence on some of his stronger emotions. Elric is an Albino which is rather offputting, but now Alric has those glowing green eyes. Prince of a destroyed (empire) Kingdom. The one letter difference of name lol. There might be more but I'd have to reread, but that anti-hero potential is there.
