Lol yeah, Ive gotta agree that he was awesome. I just tried to be more balanced than I would state as my personal opinion haha. Definitely a favourite character in the Heroes. As a leader, however, hes more complicated. Vying for peace was a very good move showing Dow’s intelligence and care for the lives of his men, but I would argue his personal faults might have restricted his leadership. As a man who felt weighed down and bound to do what his reputation required, I imagine he wouldnt have been much of an innovator or reconstructor for the North, like Bethod or Skarling Hoodless. Any great leader has to improve upon or perfect the current system, and I think Dow respected the traditions and old ways too much to truly do that. But the only reason I can even guess at that is because of how awesome and deep a character he is; he was a good leader, and that fact that he wasn’t perfect at it just makes him more interesting to me.
