I dont think he's a hypocrite though, he thinks finding the chalice is the best way to re-invgorate the GG and stem the tide of corruption that has swept the land of Arkain cant really blame him for that, he is a paladin, we all know how paladins are like. He clearly got pissed when he found out Nyssara was a demon and had tricked him and cant really judge him about how he will deal with GG downward spiral without seeing it, Hell he actually accepting an undead in his crew kina shows that he isnt that much of a one dimensional character and its actually developing.
If anything he is the most resilint character in LoA, Gardon went from " I dont take the crown to be king, but to do what i must to save this land" to having multiple baby mommas and revivng a nation that pretty much everyone hated
Aridon had a mind shattering ephiphany and went from i will preserve to i will destroy it all
Renald went from being emperors lapdog to we need to join toghether and overthrow the Emperor
Amari well we gotta have to wait for her to get a rough estimate on how she has changed in this pas 20 years
Good ol Praxy boy just wants to bring back the glory of his Lads, cant fault a man for wanting to bring back the good times, dont we all after all, who doesnt want to wake up at 12 pm boot up the pc and game, then go out with the lads and crack open a cold one
