: About the ONLY thing I liked about Myth III was the
: thought of Mjarin being the head. But Mjarin the
: warlock evil sorcerer dude, not the leveller.
I agree. Moagim HAD to be the Leveler... otherwise the undead wouldn't have reacted as they did (i.e. falling apart) upon his death. Mjarin was just a sorcerer who tried to exploit/break the Cycle.
: I would prefer to think of Mjarin as the kind of person
: who was thirsty for power and also knowledgeable. As
: head of the Warlock's, he would need to be quite
: powerful and would probably know more about the dark
: arts than anyone. He could also know about the cycles.
: Knowing that the leveller was due to be defeated, he
: would become the power behind the throne; and when the
: leveller was defeated, after having taken a good deal
: of the light army with him, Mjarin could strike at
: that opportune time. Of course, it backfired, and
: Connacht defeated him and removed his head. Only
: Mjarin's magical abilities kept his head alive.
: Now (well, in TFL time), when he is found, he still has a
: score to settle. He wants to defeat Balor because of
: his hatred for Connacht, but at the same time his evil
: nature makes him mislead the light forces.
: Just a thought, anyways.

I agree. I like to think of Mjarin as the Mazzarin of his time (maybe it's just that their names are rather similar, and they are both undead, sort of.) He probably read a good deal of the Total Codex, enough to learn about the Cycle, and how to break it.
Heck, maybe it was the Head who told Alric about how to break the Cycle (i.e. throwing the Leveler's head into the Great Devoid)... It would be fitting for Mjarin to suggest that.
