Notes and Errata of Mark of the Asphodel

I feel like Narshen and Valter's forms of malice have really different characters to them, though. Narshen might have laid down the framework for "The Trabant" to go completely batshit, but he's a coward and pretty much played up as pathetic, whereas Valter's sadism and fascination with suffering are off the charts. I think the only thing they've really got in common is the insinuation of sexual violence, but for Narshen it's one pretty Etrurian girl and kind of a footnote amidst his vanity/cowardice/general buttmonkey self. For Valter, it's everybody all the time "have I told you I think killing you sounds hot today".

Can't claim he didn't rip off Trabant's design wholesale, though.
