Along this line, I have to object to Blackwall being True or Lawful Neutral. He deeply believes his previous actions were wrong, and if he could, according to the semi-psychic spirit we let just roam around, he "would stand between Rainier and the carriage". Hell, the Good "redeemed" former murderer/thief/whathaveyou is something of cliché. Ultimately, while he can arguably be simply trying to cover his tracks for his own sake, when he sacrifices his life to turn himself in and save his man it basically cements him as (now, at least) Good. It also points towards Lawful, but there are some other problems.
Lawful might be a lot more problematic. Regret over an action only goes so far if you continually repeat it, and Blackwall lies about his very identity. Still, that lie is not the only part of his character (part of the problem will dealing with complex people), and he generally tries to aspire to the stereotypical Lawful Good hero in all else.
He may be moving towards LG
but when he murdered that family he was following orders
he was a soldier who followed orders without fail.
He wasn't a good man who had a moment of weakness, he did the same thing he always did.
So I'd say LN
If he is LG I think you can only really argue he makes it there after he surrenders himself to save Mornay
Retour en haut
