The Five have the power to impose their will on Arkerra–something HR won’t countenance anyone but himself being able to do. He’s talked about even the plots he tries to write into the game not actually working out when the Five are involved, on as basic a level as “HR writes ‘the wood elves welcome the Gastonian delegation,’ Syr’Nj’s backstory goes ‘nuh-uh my father would never!'”

He may well know that the five in the tubes are all already dead. He doesn’t care about Eric or anyone in sepia world; he just wants the Five removed, no longer able to oppose his will in Arkerra.

Speaking of Lord Byron, isn’t “tragic backstory” a pretty typical characteristic of so-called “Byronic” heroes?

“The next forty percent” doesn’t necessarily mean that forty percent of the job is already done, just that *some* of it has been done (otherwise he would say “the *first* forty percent”). Assuming it’s not just an arbitrary number with no real significance, I’d guess that Byron* is the first 20%, and the next 40% is either Syr’Nj + Frigg, or Syr’Nj + Best/WAV.

(*Even if Eric hasn’t woken up, at least Byron isn’t running around in Arkerra mucking up HR’s plans, which seems to be HR’s main concern now.)

I think he goes after the Five because he has too much ego to allow anyone else to have world-altering powers.

We did at a couple of points. I honestly don’t remember them right now, but I might stumble across them when we do a scene with them.
