Well, to be fair, Delita now has to spend the rest of his lonely existence separated from anybody he ever cared for (which I like to think includes Ovelia, Spoilerthe only reason he killed her was because she stabbed him first). In a way, that's his punishment for his manipulative nature. It's sort of like how in The Count Of Monte Cristo, (Seriously, if you haven't read the book, make sure you do so)the count has to live with the fact that his quest for vengeance has killed a little boy, his mother, and has driven his father to lunacy. What I'm arguing is that I like characters like these because they don't get happy endings, even if they accomplish their mission. They're fully aware of their sins, and they suffer with a hollow victory.

But again, we could all rack that up to a difference in taste.

Back to Algus though, I've got to give him some credit in that he makes good cannon fodder.
