That'll just be brushed off as Ala Mhigo supposedly being more 'moderate' and somehow free of blame for many because it had a 'mad ruler'. Something, ironically, that can excuse Garlemald too. Albeit I'm reluctant to consider Varis as unhinged since he's simply very driven. He's a lot like Tywin Lannister - willing to do a lot of shady, questionable things for the perceived greater good. Sadly they're both the sort of characters many here struggle to appreciate to view as anything other than outright evil. I blame the mainstream media's glorification of simplistic morality.
