Who is your least favorite major character and why?

[Vyrerus]

I wouldn’t trait this as honorable so much as he just wants to do it himself.

Less of a honorable hunter thinking what’s fair, more of a hungry predator who wants the thrill of killing.

As in, he would prefer to hunt the elephant himself than buy some ivory mantelpiece.

It's not honor as most of us think of it. Honor took on a different meaning for warriors of old. We dress it up a lot more these days, so that soldiers may rationalize going to war in the modern world, where most people are strangers to any type of combat.

Old warrior honor codes placed the highest importance on facing and overwhelming your opponents with your ability. Warriors of old would be almost unrecognizable to warriors of today, and Zenos, I think, is an attempt at writing one.

The reason he's so bored with most people and things, and then so fixated on the WoL is that for him to overwhelm anyone with his ability is nearly effortless. In fact, him exercising his ability outright kills nearby people. Soldiers ready for war, even. So weapons that remove the need to exercise his ability remove the contest, and remove the value inherent in his ability to enact great violence.

Insulting his own philosophy. While he is entirely selfish, he seeks to preserve the contest between two warriors. There is honor in that.

It's not honor as most of us think of it. ...There is honor in that.

That's a valid and fair point- a fair interpretation.

Perhaps more in line with the Samurai "Bushido" kinda concept that's very popular in J-culture.
