Definitely CoC worthy. I was saying this since day one: CoC is about ambition, not personal ideals or personal moral codes. You can be a "WG's lapdog", but it does not change the fact that you ended up at the top of one, if not the biggest, organisation in the verse. It's like saying US Marines cannot be "really" tough or have no heart. Does not really add up.
Those guys are insanely strong willed.
And I love that "showing their potential" backstory idea. Would love to see that
