We are actually doing our best to tone down the darkness! Part of the reason we asked people not to have their characters killed in this most recent plot is because of that. We wanted Tirek to be a serious threat, but in the show, he is not a murderer. We felt that would be OOC for him and undermine efforts we'd made to lighten this particular plot from its original inception.

We will bear in mind your thoughts on Tirek for any future use he might get. We were trying to extrapolate from his general power lust shown in the show, though!
