I feel like the one I would choose Xolotl. I am someone with has made few friends but who stands up for them all and who has been durable in doing so, and to this end have found myself opposing newly appointed leadership almost to the death.

    I read someone’s further analysis in which they describe how his punishment fits his crime. Because he outwitted death he has such supreme self confidence that THIS time he will get the boulder to the top. The only thing he has to do to break his curse is to stop.

      Although the whole random guest murdering thing is worse IMO. Tricking the manifestation of death into restraining himself probably counts as self defence, in my books.

      The story where he seduces his niece in order to father children that were destined to kill his brother (her father) also isn’t great.

        Oh, he’s definitely a class A scumbag. It’s unfortunate that most people just know the boulder part when there’s so much more of a lesson in morality to be gleaned from the full story.
