He's literally aligned with the jailer and taking matters in his own hands by aligning with devos.
uther piece of shit confirmed.
You basically listed normal ass human qualities and declared them villainous.
Why no, people don't just like Sylvie for T&A: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...ery-Cinematic/
so if Uther was branded when killed by frostmourne and couldnt let his past go, does that mean than everybody killed by frostmourne was in teh same situation as him?
Insubordination?
Arthas was the subordinate. Only the king (Arthas's father) was above Uther in station within that conflict.
And Terenas was pretty much against the purge, even after it happened.
Cruel?
A snobby subordinate, known to do "action first, thinking later" and outbursts of pride comes up to you and tells you: "oh, these people will turn to zombies, let's kill them all!" (the turning being something nobody at the time could confirm).
Would you have just slaughtered them all?
Prideful?He is also Pridfull, not acknowledging the truth in Arthas actions (to that point) mainly because he is his student and doesn't see him as superior to him as a paladin.
It's not pride that made him resent Arthas's actions. It's that his pupil went against every value in the book. Even if we can excuse Stratholme, Arthas continued to impress with actions like "betrayal", "treason" and last but not least "slaughtering most of his own people".
Yes, it's not like those 2 kills were somehow connected to the deaths of over half a kingdom...?He his furious and filled with vengeance for the murder of king teranas, and his own death by the hands of Arthas.
He can not ascend because he's so childly stuck on what Arthas did to him. He then cheats his way to asscention - and betray the kyrian covanent who gave him a chance in the afterlife.
He can't ascend because half his soul is stuck on Azeroth and tethers him to his memories.
It's not him cheating the ways of the Kyrians; he straight up tells Devos he's not ready in the video after all... with her pushing for the quick ascension.
Ok, now it's time to direct you to read some more on lore.Lastly, he lacks compation. He refuse to acknowledge that Arthas was first of all - his responsibility as his mentor. His failure. He ignores the jailer in the helm guiding Arthas deeds. He tosses a helpless Soul to the maw, denying it its right. To be judged - and calls it 'justice', not vengeance as it is whats it is. That also makes him a hypocrite.
1st things 1st: Yes, the video shows you only that 1 scene where he's killed, but in his words you hear him lament exactly about how his mentorship went wrong.
2nd: The Jailor was not in the helm; it was Ner'zhul. Most of Arthas's deeds were done before these 2 minds fused (or rather: Arthas pretty much obliterated Ner'zhul's soul and took it's power).
3rd: he does repent on this later on, which kind of sparks the Kyrians to rethink their ways.
You mean, you never much cared about lore?Gotta say, I never cared much for Uther, but SL made him even worse on my list. Arthas is a villain, mostly influenced and manipulated by powers beyond his understanding. Uther is a Villain on his own with no one to blame. Same with Xera and Yrel, you can still yield the light and be a horrible person.
Go read the Arthas book and you will see just how much "Arthas was manipulated". Beyond that you should also replay the entire campaign and pay attention this time around.
Kyrians get to do that
The final chapters of the campaign feature;
(8) Lysonia betrays Uther and tries to leech him for anima, but we stop her uppon which Uther decides to exile himself
(9) The forsworn launch a full scale attack on Bastion, in the final stages Uther rejoins the fight on our side
Uther will probably end up being the key to the Kyrians marginalization of their ways and re-integration of decent forsworn
Welcome to the lore section of MMO-champion, where having human qualities and not being an all-knowing observer makes characters "bad apples".
From what we've seen of the Arbiter it functions like a machine... It does what it's straight up made to do and doesn't acqnowledge unknown variables.
Even the best of machine learning/AI algorhytms will miss-clasify a subject if it's the 1st one completely out of the norm and the variable is not one usually a defining characteristic.

Apparently not wanting to kill innocents after someone with a revenge boner gives a culling order after 1s of thought is villaneous. Arthas acted quickly like a kid and Uther did what he was supposed to do. Guide him.

Yes, it was a mistake to rob Arthas of the normal afterlife process, but that doesn't make him villainous.[/QUOTE]
Breaking a cycle that has been going on since SL has been established (billions of years lets say) just for personal vendetta and condemning a soul without a proper judgement/trial to torture for eternity - that doesn't make him a villian you say?
