Vates can see [i]possible[/i] futures... [i]sometimes[/i]... I should really work on beefing him up. I don't imagine he could touch any other player at this point :P 

I think the whole flying throne bit was the only issue I had with Itkomi, but everything else was fine by me. Given that he's one of the few fully fledged bad guys at this point (from what I gather) he needs to have some advantages.
