And now I'm happy to be sort of a balancing force (attritionarily, anyway).

I mean, Sharp can just start up a meeting with his assassins and go like "Yo bros, I gots' intel of a new Dark lord. OP as hell, that guy. Soz, let's just stop poisoning the energy drinks of Light nobles for a month or two, y'hear me. 'least till a noob protagonist challenges that guy and brings 'em down."
