: This once again brings up the question of who was the
: greater General, The Watcher or Soulblighter? I'd have
: to go with The Watcher because of his experience
: against generals such as Connacht and Mazzarin
: himself, though Soulblighter seems more shrewd,
: cunning, and less dictated with the age of hatreds
: which seem to fester in the ancient evils.
I s'pose it depends how you measure greatness as a general.
The Watcher allowed himself to be surprised by Legion,
turned to stone then killed, whereas Soulblighter stayed
out of harm's way.
On the other hand, Soulblighter seemed to care nothing for
his army. He deserts it, he's willing to wash Shiver out
to sea, and so on. Maybe its because his crow-thing makes
him so mobile, and he's such a good fighter himself, that
an army would seem a hindrance to him.
Anyway, IMO I'd rank the Deceiver above either of them.
