He's 8. But REALLY pumped up by Humakti vows. Not much of his young personality left all, just a vengeful Deathlord.

According to the Sartarites, yes. King of Sartar, page 142. According to the Lunars, no. Fortunate Succession, page 68. For me, the Lunars are correct.

Ignifer. The Fortunate Succession, p 68.

David D's suggestion, from Penny Love (?), is exactly the right kind of
thing.
Note that breaking his geas doesn't kill the warlord, but it does create a
weakness that will doom him.
