For future reference to all, Please be careful when making assumptions about NPCs I create. Namely when you would like your character to have had a lot of past interaction with them. Just shoot me a PM and run it by me first, please. Like, Sir Halbert is most definitely full of himself, but he isn't a scheming criminal trying to extort the system due to his high status. To say he was would be to accuse the King of being a fool for favoring such a man. Halbert has had many noble accomplishments and saved many lives. The people see him as a sort of hero. He is a man of and for the people although he has been known to speak condescendingly to his fellow military men as well as anyone who doesn't admit he's totally awesome and a sculpture of manly perfection.... In the end though, he tends to not really care whether or not you like him, because he totally loves himself enough to cover the gap.

So what you're saying is that he is an ass, but the kind of ass that you know would have your back when the kingdom was in danger and the shit had hit the windmill?
