<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">i think he was kind of a cool god. he really knew how to liven up a party. he seemed like the perfect person to party. if you are over 21, of course. i give him a lot of respect because when he wants something, he doesn't let anyone get in his way. i think his power is kind of lame because all he can do is drive a man mad. i don't see when that will come in handy when fighting against other gods. i think the whole teleporting thing is pretty cool through. that will most definuly will come in handy in a fight. > ​
