This is all probably true.

However, if we haven't written the 10 pages about Harrek, how reliable are the stats? IMO, not very reliable at all. Part of my problem with the stats for Broyan et all is that they were written BEFORE the character was actually described and well defined. As a result, I consider the stats given for some of the characters in OiD to be of very dubious reliability.
Frankly, I think the old RQ Cradle scenario had this right. You didn't need stats for Garrath Sharpsword or Jarang Bladesong or Pinchining - they weren't necessary. Stats should be provided only when necessary - otherwise they are premature and confine creativity.
