I agree with that sentiment. I have a character who doesn't prefer leadership roles for those exact reasons. 

Sounds like the power scaling lines up all right for my Archontikos. Should be plenty enough for him to sink his claws into. There's the briefest of bios in the Character section of this thread if you wanna get a rough idea. 

How do you propose we situate this? I'm still ironing out the lore of Archon, so I'm open to ideas. He's a nihilistic force of destruction, so creating a conflict won't be too problematic
