He is a megalomaniac, very charming, wields great arcane power but he is flighty, impatient, and kind of dumb. Take that character and have him bumble around doing magical research that he keeps screwing up because he can't be bothered to properly research history and you have one hilarious bad guy. He wouldn't be nearly as entertaining in the same way if I had made him a wizard. The INT needed to make him effective with magic would have made his idiocy implausible. For that I'm glad the archetype exists.</blockquote>
