But that's just it.  Keth is a Predator.  He doesn't care so much about balance.  He wouldn't fight for it, in any case.  He has a very Survival of the Fittest mindset, though that is changing a bit as he spends more time around people.  He still sees the world in terms of Predator and Prey.  He's just chosen his prey as those he is contracted to hunt, perhaps because that is an acceptable use of his predatory instincts, now that he's spending more time in civilization.I think perhaps he is disillusioned with Orcish culture, having seen where that got them, and the difference between an Orc Tribe and a grand city.  In essence, he saw the large city as being the "more fit", able to survive better.  Orcs certainly have no grand cities of their own.  Perhaps he was touched by Gruumsh at a young age, but after his tribe was exterminated (or nearly so), he left Gruumsh behind, something that could come back to bite him later.  No pun intended.  Plus, now that he has been spending time with more humans, he is experiencing a wider range of emotions and feelings.  I think he just recognizes their way of life is just better than that of the Orcs.  Not that he has completely left behind all his Orcish ways.  He still hunts his Prey, and still has a strong prejudice against elves.  But he is trying to find his way in a big and confusing world.</blockquote>
