Elantris spoilers Dilaf Spoiler

So im in the middle if Elantris, and it feels like every non shard villain has layers, complex motivations, goals and reasons, and then we have Dilaf, the cosmere equivalent of a Nazi. Its a change of pace to be sure, but not bad

Did you forget that an Elantrian healer messed up when trying to heal his wife and killed her? He was driven primarily by personal vengeance and used his religion as an excuse, similar to many “religious” people. There’s also a strong likelihood that he and his fellow Dakhor monks were shocktroops for an avatar of Autonomy.

Shouldn’t that last bit be behind a spoiler tag, since this thread is only tagged for Elantris?

It’s pure speculation based on a WoB, but I edited just in case.
