Makes sense given what we have learned about Thancred in 2.2 - he owes a lot to Louisoix, it seems.

It was this emphasis on being the best and working so hard that lead him to being susceptible to being possessed by Lahabrea.
Right, but I don't think this means he was slated to take Louisoix's place, per se. I think he was just struggling to fill the void (pardon the terrible pun) as was everyone else. He just overworked himself in the process.
