Can we take a moment to appreciate how stupid and funny of a villain Kaiden is? I actually can't take him seriously with how he's written. When he offered for Ellisa to become the Empress I don't know why so many people read it as him having a redemption arc in the story bc NO!! IT'S LITERALLY CLOSER TO A LAVENDER MARRIAGE!! "no one can understand me like you do" Understand what? Clearly he was referring to how Ellisa understood that everything he wanted was power and he hates anyone that undermines his power, how everything good he does has a ulterior motive that brings him closer to absolute power, and how as long as you don't threaten his power, he might even do things in your favour?? Kaiden is literally so in love with power that the one time in the entire series where he blushed was when he was talking about sending his wife to war to win over the entire rebel faction that was forming in the West!!! bro was like "holy shit you gave me key information as to how to destroy my enemies, you don't even need to come into my bedchambers anymore tonight" CAN WE SEE IT GUYS?? HE IS SO HORNY FOR POWER THAT THE POLITICAL EVIDENCE ELLISA BROUGHT WAS MORE SEXY TO HIM THAN ELLISA HERSELF!!
He was never good nor evil, he just really gets off to the concept of having power and has no morals standing in the way of his pursuit of true love
