In the old days of RQ2, we would have said that he is illuminated, and can therefore ignore the rules of YT (must be brave and lead into battle). Nowadays, I'd say he has the mystical dualism insight that allows him to act entirely in the context of a Polaris general, and command from a comfy tent, without the otherworld consequences that he would suffer if he were acting as a YT commander. The barbarian orlanthi mistake this insight for a chaos tainted rule-breaking perverion. How ignorant!
