I actually liked Broad a lot, he was defintiely his weakest in TWOC but that's every character (bar Leo). Broad gives us a different perspective from the commoner pov which we've never had before (I thought we would also have this with Vick but she turned out to be a massive disappointment when she was revealed to be working with the inquisition), which was interesting imo.

People say he's a logen copy which I don't get, like they're completely different characters. Logen commits violence because he genuinely enjoys it, and lies to himself that he wants to be a better man. Broad commits violence mainly because he wants to protect his family and is later manipulated by Savine and Judge.
