#Arvis was willing to fry his bro

While Langobalt or Lombard, did show sympathy for Lord Ring. My impression/headcanon is he's a very a traditionalist when it comes to families, the Dozel motto is also tough love to make your kids strong. Yet despite this, killing a family member with no remorse as Andorey did is very much against the Dozel's code. I don't think Langobalt is a great dad, mind you, but I do think he loved his kids in his own way. He's more reluctant to fight his kid then Reptor, & tries to talk Lex out of it.

I think TV tropes has a trope for it like “even evil has standards” or something. Lombard might have some values, he also has a lot of problematic stuff under his beard so yeah...

maybe he isn’t as “evil” as F!Lewyn wanted to make us understand, but we can’t deny he did pretty serious shit in Isaach. That’s why I was actually very happy with Oosawa’s portrayal of Lombard in the manga (even if he is all “Danan is a brute/stupid son you would have been perfect Lex if you didn’t rebel” which didn’t please me).

This is why I’m pretty sour at the “Dozels were all crap since Lombard” thing, crap because of regicide and starting a war and all, but even Lombard had limits. F!Lewyn should sweep his own rug before talking shit about other people, did Dacar and Maios possess any qualities??
