* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: In-universe, no less. The Dwarf Noble player character can tell Bhelen that they finally realize that Bhelen was only following the unwritten rules of dwarven politics, and that Bhelen was only "playing the game", and admits that Bhelen is the only one suited to politics among his brothers. Bhelen naturally approves. |

* [[Corrupt Politician]]: Debates between his supporters and Harrowmont's often result in ''armed combat''. Side against him and town criers on his payroll will claim you worship demons. This guy takes the concept of an ugly smear campaign to a whole new level, and the worst part is, {{spoiler|he's the more competent choice.}} |
