I was reasoning that, among the previous clichè needing to be revised, is the one about Humakti leaders of militia or mercenary regiments. Is it believable that a psychopatic killer is charged with a high military rank and that his subordinates get to really obey and maybe love him (such in the case of many succesful condottieri of the RW past? I'm thinking about Giovanni de' Medici as an example, provided you have seen the excellent (italian) film on his last days)?
