There was a 47 year stretch between when Soon died and "now." It's entirely possible the role of the Sapphire Guard was perverted between Soon's death and when O'Chul arrived to act as a commoner counterweight to the organization. (O'Chul patreon backer story spoiler) That being said, Soon was probably a douchebag.

On the other hand, the fact that his ghost went fairly easy on Miko (instead of going on a tirade about just how massively she hosed everything up) would probably indicate that he’d mellowed out by the end of his life.

Or after it, at least. Guy had plenty of time to reflect and do basically nothing else, if his soul remained in the mortal realm instead of passing on until after Miko broke the gate. Which, tangent, makes me wonder what he thought watching how Shojo ran things, assuming he could see it and all. Edit: Also, the page after the one linked above mentions Soon forming the guard from the "noblest samurai", and since Azure City samurai are of the caste rather than the class (the D&D class, I mean; maybe I should have said social class rather than RPG class), that would support the "no commoners until O'Chul" thing.

"excatly" in panel 7, but before I found that one I found "villian" in panel 5. Maybe Girard just isn't very good at spelling, which is ironic for a sorcerer with dragon blood.

I feel like the fight against Durkula kind of served as the capstone of the "Roy has to show that a dedicated fighter can take on an undead spellcaster that theoretically far outstrips them" storyline. I've no idea how exactly the final confrontation with Xykon will look, but Roy has proven what he set out to prove, and there are a lot of other storylines also bound up in Xykon's ultimate fate, like Redcloak's and the MitD's.

I have a feeling the very next page will be the reveal of Serini's orange-bubbled friend, who is highly likely to be a monster. I also have a feeling that Serini is going to be amenable to the goblins' plight and TDO's plan, if not necessarily Redcloak's way of going about it.

Roy's story is more wrapped up in his fighter grandfather and his dead ghost dad, sure Roy told his dad off pretty good but this whole thing is just a catalyst for the moment Eugene Greenhilt has to admit he's grateful that another human being exists and that it didn't require knowing how to cast fireball to do it.

He's mostly fighter, he doesn't have enough Paladin levels for a mount. Statwise we know he has lovely charisma, he called it his dump stat. According to Rich he's able to make friends with people as easily as he does and do things like get along with MitD via things like diplomacy skill ranks to compensate for the lovely CHR.
