[QUOTE="BB Shockwave, post: 6673217, member: 6799257"] Oh so that's why the sword was familiar. Backstory or not though... Salvatore's comic implies that the dude married an elf woman, waited what, a 100 years for their 2 kids to mature, and then LET the daughter kill the son so the sword can dominate her. And then she follows her to the Underworld, hobbles her wife and leaves her behind to "hold off" the orcs, and tells his daughter that they are only ever gonna be home in the Underdark. WHO DOES THAT?!? Seriously, who has such a grand plan? And I don't care what the other books say - this comic, written by two Salvatores, makes it obvious the old drow WANTED this to happen, he is always smirking evilly, he narrates to himself how he has been preparing to pass the evil sword onto his daughter but had to harden her... Really, guy's a piece of work, and this is supposed to be the hero of the comic? So yeah stuff like this is why I stopped reading Salvatore completely. Entreri is even worse to read, because at least before that, he had this professional rivalry with Drizzt that got out of hand, but take that away and he is just an anrgy thug who is evil for the sake of being evil.
