Thing is, we really are a warrior of light, becoming a super powerful killing machina (we have slain quite a few beastmen, mighians, dragons, Garleans, primals, and even 2 immortal beings. Granted their immortality had flaws, but still). Wether our actions are good or not isn't really us to tell. Yeah we stopped the Garlean invasion which would have ended in a bloodshed. Yeah we stopped (or started to stop) a millenium-old war between dragons and Ishgardians (technically, ishgardians vs ishgardians). And yeah we stopped the rampage and aether sucking process of a lot of primals.

All of these might be considered good (depends on the point of view for the Garlean episode), but in the end, what resulted is that we became overpowered, even for the taste of Elidibus who is more aiming for balance between Light and Darkness than the mere return of Zodiark (as much as I understand what that shadowy character thinks). So far, he hadn't done anything against us and was super pissed by Lahabrea and Nabriales's attempts to kill us.

What we, as the WoL, do with that power will be the key factor that will determine wether we bring harm to the world or not. But I am of the opinion that overthrowing the balance between Light and Darkness as we currently do (not by our own chief, but we're still doing it because of everything that is thrown at us) isn't really the good thing.



From a RP perspective, Kuwagami has become some kind of a sadist over the time spent slaying countless fanatic beastmen, dragons, and primals (the warrior's blood is boiling hard). My guess is that Thordan couldn't believe that he enjoyed fighting and slaying his enemies so much. He's some kind of monster in the inside.
