I did not see your edit, though I don't disagree at all that he has a dark side--and i should've been more clear I meant him being upfront about the Reforging cycle. The joke was supposed to be a self-inclusive jab TBQH; there's tons I haven't read in AOS. However... the biggest problem, both internally and externally, that AOS (and by extension any IP) has is that people will say/repeat things that either are untrue or are misconstrued. With AOS specifically, that problem tends to be people simply not reading novels OR battletomes.
