: Assuming that a 'leveler spirit' takes control of the
: heroes' bodies, I wouldn't say that Balor has an
: emotional connection to something Connacht had
: memories of (even if the leveler spirit knew
: connacht's memories)...
: Balor would rather be the leveler spirit in a corpse than
: a resurrected connacht, so the emotions behind him
: hating the myrk standard have to be connected to the
: leveler spirit itself. So why does one leveler hate
: what a former leveler created? (that leads to my
: theory): There may be multiple leveler spirits (,
: maybe struggling over the control over the next
: leveler all the time?) (Dark Gods mb?)
: AFAIK the A/B theory has been disproven already, so this
: is the only possible reason I can think of that
: explains why Balor hates the myrk standard (assuming
: that theres some sort of leveler spirit taking control
: over ex-heroes or whatever)
In TFL, Alric says "because of Balor's old enmity toward the Myrkridia." I think the point is just that there's some shreds of Connacht's personality left over in addition to all his memories. The Trow seems to agree, since they consider Balor to be enough of Connacht that they should pay the former back for favors done by the latter.
The A/B theory hasn't been disproved, but then there was never much strong evidence for it either. Just a "wouldn't it be cool if..." to hang up behind the known backstory.
