I appreciate that some of his minions are actually men. I'm really fond of Gold, they remind me of Piros III from .hack//G.U. in a way. Not just the gold armor but their personality as well, though a little less goofy
I always found such arguments extremely stupid. "I didn't kill them, even though it was my hand that ended their life, it was you that made me do it because blah blah blah"
