Well...he turned out to be a power crazed morally reprehensible piece of work - it's almost like light switch was flipped, and then he was an absolutely evil degenerate. All that was missing wa sthe crazed laughter *aha!hahahahahah!* (he did a bit of that too)
In my1st playthrough I convinced him to not ascend - but otherwise treated him much the same, did the Thayan codex stuff etc -> fine, decent chap (for a vampire) I thought....
In my second (just concluded) playhrough, I essentially did the same, but encouraged him to Ascend...yes, I know he had to sacrifice all these turned vampires, but it was for the 'greater good'; i.e. him being more powerful could help saving *all* Faerun (and possibly this plane of existence) ...so possible morally defensible. But wow. Any qualms he had about treating people decently from that point went out the window *despite* his history of monstrous abuse. He seemed quite willing to perpetrate the same on thousands of others...That doesn't gel. All that careful digging through his past - and sympathy etc - but he shows that ultimately he's like his much maligned masters. In that case, I should have had the option to end his existence at the end (realizing what I had unleashed)...Also, the powers he acquired were...*massively* underwhelming for all the talk about this near omnipotent ascended vampire.
