Thanks! Well, ‘For Freedom’ does bear a curse of too many characters, partly because the story has several subplots and I’m too sentimental to cut them down, but hey, that’s exactly why I made this blog, so that the readers could get to know secondary characters better. ;) Darm strives to avoid the mistakes most warlords do, so while he isn’t above lying and betraying others, he thinks long-term, and he benefited greatly from the alliance with Tamant. In fact, I think due to their history together Tamant is one of the few beasts Darm actually trusts. Yes, both Tamant and Zorra are more on the intellectual side of spectrum, but that’s mostly because Darm’s other Captains are more battle-oriented, so to say.
