The leader of the cabal is the most important individual of course in the cabal perhaps more so then the immortals because they are often the visible presence upon Thera (generally more then the gods anyway.)
From King Arthur to Melkor himself they collected the majority of different minions (players) under their belts because they showed what (1) a character of there certain class could do. (2) what powers and protection a cabal can give (in most cases).
Take the empire that everyone is having a go at at the moment. Quinthen (I do not care what people say) brought the current empire up to standard again. Which is now dying again to the point of extinction. I swear people will do the rounds of the cabals before they go back to Empire as the last resort. It was starting to flourish before the immortals stepped in. Last time I was in the empire (recently) I logged on and now one was ther in my pk range who was imperial(This went on for at least 5 ranks if not more). This I believe is the foolish 15th level principle of Jorin which doesn't allow the Empire to trap members young before they think of joining Masters etc. Why did it flourish under Quinthen? Because he seemed to be a great leader(imms also kept there nose out). Now Jorin seems to be a likeable leader but I do not think he will great nor will Quinthen ever be remembered as legendary.
Now I think our lich friend will be legendary indeed he has brought about strong interest in Necromancy again and will most likely get a lot of people onto the Entropy bandwagon (taking more members away from you know who.)
I'm just craping on hoping to cause a bit of flamage. It gave me an excuse to go on about the empire a bit. Excuse the gramma.
