^I was at first reacting in the same way as you. But as the game has sunk in (way in) I now look at it differently. The Arisen has lived his/her entire lifa as a fisher in Cassardis. Raised by the Cheif, orphant as he/she is. Suddenly he/she is an Arisen, powers incresing fast, people showing approvement, appreciation and respect. He/she arrives at the BIG city, all people, the Pawns, and suddenly the Dutchess showers you with love and affirmation. It's easy to see how the simple fisherman/eh..person is completely dazzled and blinded by all beuty and glory of it all. I think this is also much of the reason the producers have made the Arisen a fairly easy target to be taken advantage of - Mason (killing), Fester (hat), Fournival (eviction & babysitting), the Shadow Fort Crew (cryptic message to Julien)...

As much as I'd like only to be a lean, mean, killing machine, I still find it charming.
