“I’m no man of
honor/Myself is my true king/But somewhere deep within me/The bells of
conscience ring.”
— Halfman’s Song, by Miracle of Sound
Playing Evergrin
Despite the crude, cocky façade he portrays, Evergrin is at
his core a broken individual. He uses crude humor and a display of arrogance to
keep people at arm’s length, trying to prevent anyone from getting close enough
to slip a knife between his ribs. His childhood as a slave left scars deeper
than the ones that give him his name. Ultimately, though his only loyalty is to
himself and he wants to believe that he is a selfish and self-serving
individual, some kernel of goodness still resides within him.
