Foryn: I'm sure I'm opening a can of worms with this, but what alignment would our dear friend War best fit under? He's got the whole Balance Between Good and Evil going for a True Neutral outlook, but then he's got the whole Roaring Rampage of Revenge that smacks of more Chaotic tendencies, but then again, he does set right a bunch of wrongs from both sides of the Hell and Heaven conflict which seems to speak of a good alignment. So some discussion might be nice.

Red Viking: That's a good question. He's definitely Chaotic something if only because he's the freaking Horseman of War. That makes him Chaotic by his very nature. But, at the same time, he does have a sense of honor. Ultimately though, I'd say he's Chaotic Neutral since, by the end of the game, he's freed himself from the shackles of the Council, broke the seventh seal and summoned the other three Horsemen to help him fight against those who come after him.

witchdoctor: I'd say he's more of a Lawful Neutral as he upholds the law to the best of his ability. I say this because he upholds the law where he can but tries to keep himself as uninvolved as possible. The only reason he's helping Samael or Azrael is because he's essentially given a choice between that or dying. This is case where he avoids the Lawful Stupid trap and applies the law as best he can. After all he accepts Nex Sacramentum and decides not to kill Uriel immediately but promises to finish the job once The Destroyer has been dealt with. The only reason he doesn't kill Uriel is that he technically died and fulfilled the conditions of Nex Sacramentum.
