This person possesses the right mix of skills, abilities, and spirit to get the job done.The short version: he's the only one who can handle the job.Spawn is also a good example of this. When I stopped reading the comic (finances are a killer now), there was a war between heaven and hell. Each were looking for soldiers. Both sides were looking to recruit Simmons. In life, he was a dedicated soldier/assassin who killed on command as well as a loyal husband. Hell happened to get to him first, and they had to cheat to do it (fight for me, and I'll give you back your wife. Why make a bargain if he's a damned soul?). He continued his fight because he had no real choice in the matter, given that no matter how he fought (for or against Hell) he only aided their cause in the end. Even after his fall, heaven continued to alternately attempt bringing him to their side or kill him. He was simply to valuable an asset to let the enemy have.Granted, Spawn in the least likely canidate for the LG alignment, but what he he have been like if he fought the same war, with the same ramifications, on the side of Heaven?Then again, Cedric may be at the brink of swapping paladin levels for the Blackguard.</blockquote>
