I guess it's not really surprising that they aren't equivalent to Amelie but I kind of thought since they're supposed to be the two who are really good at fighting out of the first-years they'd manage to get a little more done that that.
But yeah, Sabnock is interesting in that he essentially learned a sense of humility really early in his character arc, despite being defined by his grandiose ambitions. He's one of those characters who you'd expect to be extremely one-note but he really isn't. Hopefully he'll continue to grow past two notes 😛
