In Alphinaud's last statement in the quest The Price of Principles, he says:

"Your concern is most generous, but no─I have left them in the hands of men better suited to the task than I."

It should read "...in the hands of men better...than me." or "...in the hands of men better...than I am."

Using the personal pronoun, after "than" in anything other than a clause, is incorrect. My preference, because it is the most common usage of the two, would be the former one, in the alternatives listed above.
