Am i alone in detesting Burrich?
Burrich was there to be hated, thats the way I saw his character. He was too set in his ways to realize that the Witt was a good thing and he had that talent. It scarred him beyond comprehension so he lashed out at the Witt and anyone who wielded it,making him a bitter man and one that would be hated by most people who met him.
