Oh, I get exactly what you mean now. Yes, I wouldn't have Alvarr and Merlin showing off, but I think there's a chance Merlin may have to be forced to kill Alvarr to protect Arthur (remember the producers say Merlin has to make some hard decisions and will find it hard to draw the line between good and bad?) Cenred and Helios had some great leadership skills, and so does Alvarr. Now that I think of it what they have in common is their leadership abilities, and like for women, but Alvarr is different as he has magic, unlike Cenred and Helios, and he doesn't have an army.. yet. Who knows, he may get hold of one.
