: It explained in TFL that Myrmidons were a race of
: Bezerks. They were no different except for the fact
: that they were more easily corrupted!
And the fact that they had a completely different fighting style, and, when alive, were, apparently, much more effective (according to the manual, good enough to take on a Myrkrydia one on one!). As for being more easily corrupted, consider that Balor didn't even bother trying to corrupt the normal Berserkers: it was the Myrmidons that kept repulsing his armies. Besides, an offer of immortality is hard to turn down, especially if you don't know exactly the kind of immortality your patron has in mind. :D
