What? Oh HELLS no. Just... no. If this is really true and what's happening, then I genuinely could not be more disappointed. Another evil companion? No, that absolutely sucks, I hate it. And I feel more visceral frustration and anger about it than I ever imagined feeling about the final reveal. I thought at most I'd be mildly disappointed that the final origin wouldn't be from a short race but this? This feels like a slap in the face to anyone who wants genuinely heroic companions and they stick us with what appears to be the most overtly villanous and evil companion yet.
