Widargelt in 4.0 MSQ?

[myahele]

He is the last known Fist of Rhalgr Monk and Ala Mhigan royalty. He also has his own Resistance members.

I would think he'll play a role. The "prince uniting his people to liberate occupied nation" trope would have been a possibility, but with the Lady in Red and the Griffon being the focus, I don't see that happening anymore.

With the way Widargelt speaks, I just can't see him as a political figure. I don't think we wants to rule, but will support the WoL to liberate Ala Mhigo and reestablish the Monks. In the end, I don't think he'll play as big of a role as Estinien did in Heavensward and I prefer it that way.

What if the Griffin kills him to make sure there is no alternative to his resistance?

I think the Griffin will have Widargelt assassinated, but the WoL and crew gets wind (a quest giver) of it and prevents it. That's how we'll learn of his heritage.
