: It's not really clear-cut. On the one hand the glossary

: describes Balor as "chief among the Fallen

So you think he wasn't a Fallen Lord? It's not entirely clear from your post. Personally I think he was a Fallen Lord. The Nine were led by Alric, but that doesn't mean he wasn't one of them. You can lead something and still be a part of it. As for Pimpy's post, why couldn't he be the Leveller and a Fallen Lord at the same time? Is there any actual evidence to say that he couldn't be both, or is this merely hypothesis?
One of the reasons why I think that Balor was one of the Fallen Lords is because it's hard to conceive that there would be two Fallen Lords that nobody ever mentioned or fought in Myth and that didn't reappear to cause trouble in Myth II. Soulblighter brought Shiver back and didn't bother to go after one of the living ones? Doesn't make much sense. I would have thought that there were no living ones other than Soulblighter and the Deceiver. If Balor was a Fallen Lord, there would be only one unaccounted for. Who would that one be? The Head perhaps? It did describe itself as one of Connaught's lieutenants didn't it? Perhaps it is The Head who is the cloaked figure who appears behind Connaught and next to Damas in the comic.
