Belisarius Series/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Belisarius manipulates this. He is able to, as a distraction to convince, convince him that Eon is an entitled pervert who absolutely ''loves'' raping slave-girls (somewhat like Venandakatra in other words). As the main part of the plot he is able to convince him that Kushans, despite the fact that they were ordered to guard Shakuntala's virginity, were absolutely certain to try to seduce her. The idea that they might be honorable soldier'ssoldiers who would never do such a thing (when they do defect it is out of politics and simply because they like Shakuntala better as a person, not out of their own lust) never occurs to him, because of course Venandakatra does not really believe there is a such thing as honor. As a result the Kushans are replaced as guards by celibate priests who are supremely qualified as [[Cannon Fodder|garrote-fodder]] for Rao. Basically Belisarius, [[Guile Hero|manipulates]] Venandakatra's assumption that [[Laser-Guided Karma|everyone is like him.]]
