Betrayal of Ideals puts them somewhere in between powder-keg and innocent victim. The same can also be said for Sara McEvedy and Clan Wolverine.Were they really buying his grand vision because they felt it was a better way, were they won over by his charisma and impassioned words? Or were they just so sick and tired of fighting and conflict and total war that any option at all to end it seemed like pure genius? For that matter, the people who followed Nicholas and became the Clans.Did he genuinely have a vison of a better society in which civilians and infrastructure were spared the horror and suffering of endless warfare, and the sacrifices which brought it about were a fair price (or, at worst, absolutely necessary)? Or was he a megalomanical sociopath who wanted to reshape humanity in his own image so he would be revered like unto a god by all who lived in his utopia? Again, there's plenty of evidence to support both interpretations. ![]() Nicholas Kerensky was either a driven visionary or a figure of evil, and there's plenty of evidence for both. ![]()
