I really like King Elbas, in the beginning I hated him because I blamed the royal blood line for Ivor's death (I hope I spelt his name right, it's been a while), but after Chasing Demon's death, I came to like his character a lot. To me he is a likable villian character as he knows struggles like Noah, although I hate his children, especially the 2nd prince, their too arrogant to understand what it's like being at the bottom, at least King Elbas understood.
Author, Noah's ambition for power is supposed to be limitless, so the novel would never end. Noah would always be looking for powers beyond the top of the universe, since as I understand it, as long as his ambition runs out he will lose his power or something similar since his ambition is part of him.
