[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 3666079, member: 15538"] That's Asmodeus's privilege. His vassals are accountable to him for how their subordinates are treated. Asmodeus only has to consider his regal right and his own judgment. Plus, Hell is a somewhat different situation; it is a fiefdom. Vader and the Moffs, however, are the Emperor's personal representatives in adminstrating a centrally ruled Empire. Anyway, it is not simply treachery that is at issue, which is a trait of Evil. Rather the issue is hise swearing an explicit oath he has no intention of fulfilling, and that he could easily have avoided by choosing a different course. Among other matters. Regardless of whether the action is legal or not, it's not lawful. A lawful character respects not only the letter of the law of his land, but lawfulness in general; for instance, a Lawful character would be bound by the Geneva conventions, or in this case, diplomatic courtesy. As I've noted above, I don't consider Palpatine's regime to be LE in the first place, so Vader's actions are an extension of the Emperor policies. Vader breaks his assurances. A LE character wouldn't be threatening to break the agreement any further, he'd be rationalizing why he was allowed to break it at all. To what do you refer?[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
