I very much get that you see Angel as driven by a different set of motives.
I guess I was more thinking about the blend of influence and going with the grain of Angel's personality. It was the external-internal combo that struck me as somewhat similar, though obviously the content of the motives are quite different. Also the way Angel can block out things once he's set on a path. It's just kind of strange that what I most admired in your epic is something similar to what I think might get played out here, albeit in a very different key. (I'm obviously a weird sort of reader).
