100* AntiVillain: Does many morally ambiguous things, but his motivations and the fact that most of his enemies are no saints themselves puts him in this territory.
101* TheChessmaster: Cements himself as this when he [[spoiler:arranges for assassins to try and kill him in order to expose a traitor in his ranks.

107* WellIntentionedExtremist: Molden is willing to go the incredible lengths if it means preventing a war between the Alliance of the Seven Cities and the Dragon Empire.
