You know, in her book, Sara Douglass presents WolfStar as a likable character but, sorry, for me, he's totally not salvageable. That guy murdered over 200 children. He sacrificed his own pregnant wife. He crushed MorningStar's head to a bloody pulp with his bare hands just to protect his identity. He gave the Gryphon to Gorgrael and thus opened the path to destruction of the whole Tencendor. He french-kissed his own daughter, knowing that she was his daughter! Yuck! It disgusts me that Douglass is still trying to present him as a nice guy despite all of that. Ick and na pfui! *shudders* And Azhure is totally in awe of him, of course. Bean-sized brain, really *rolls eyes*

Dude. Whole other series, I'm telling you.
Yeah, what you're describing isn't so much "shades of grey" for me, but "utter bastard". Hard to build a hero around that. See oh, anything by John Ringo.
