: Remember, the name is not The Destroyer, but the Leveler.
: His only goal is to keep balance, so he traps all his

: time being, but makes sure he can come back to them as
: Balor and use them. It's simply a case of being
: well-prepared :) He reused almost everything he
: captured, but this time to help him.
Actually, as much as I championed the theory of the Leveler balancing, the Myth II epilogue proved me wrong. The Leveler is a transient divinity seeking only chaos and destruction, to rule unchallenged over the unthinking dead and their blasted lands. It is fated that a hero will defeat him every thousand years, but he is also fated to return every thousand years, so it does stay balanced. But Connacht was not the Leveler, until he became Balor. Connacht was a good guy, a hero like Alric. Then the Leveler took him over and he started to kill things.
