You know, maybe I just share a lot of life's viewpoints with Jeff but it seems to me that he has done a very good job keeping the situations realistic. In a war you'd be amazed at how a good side can have the worst secrets. It's not uncommon for a burned out fighter of a rightous cause to abandon all semblance of sanity or morality much like Tuldaric just out of their sheer desire to see some justice in a world otherwise plagues with evil. Such people often sacrifice what it was that made them who they were in the begining when they passionatly faught by the rules for the greater good. They may not necessarily ever switch sides but a lot of monsters do get born out of necessity . Some spend the rest of their lives rather conflicted.
And as I've often seen some of the worst people ever can look so right and morale, or even just sane, kind and wonderful, while in other cases the only right side is not at all what it seems. sometimes in a situation the coldest, meanest, scarriest people are somethimes the only ones who care about the lives of others, buried under mountains of hatred from years of combat with morbid personality quirks they are yet gripped with an outrage at seeing people become victims of the former.
