[Dragaera] Vlads blood

[Steve Rapaport]

I don't think "contrary" or "outsider" do him justice.  He's no lone wolf,
nor a predictably contrary rapscallion.  He is simply a player without (as
yet) a mission.  He is a man of strong will and great skill who knows how
the world works (better than most), has powerful friends, and has the
ability to fulfill his own truly grand destiny.

He simply doesn't yet know what that destiny is.  And he's not interested in
being told, either. Not even by goddesses. It has to come from within.

But harking back to his past life as Dolivar, he's likely to do something at
least as impressive as squeezing a group of misfits into the Cycle this
time.

And from a dramatic point of view (making this series more worthwhile than
the backstory), it should be a whole lot more impressive than that.

And uniquely his, not simply contrary or isolationist.
