Marvel is the guy giving the pristine reputation Jenred and Velax worked so hard for a big black eye. :>

...????

I'd say Jenred is something of a mythical figure in and around Arcaea. He could declare himself God-Emperor and get away with it, probably :p

Amusingly enough, Jenred actually has plans in place to deal with himself should he ever go that far off the deep end.  He was extremely worried about succumbing to the Ruler's Curse like every other long-time Ruler on the Far East, and being the kind of man he is, made sure that there were people who had ways of taking him down if it became an issue.  It's a short list, but the people on it are more than powerful enough to stop him, especially as Jenred was publicly afraid of the Ruler's Curse, so they would have significant support among the older Arcaeans who might have been inclined to support Jenred, and the newer ones wouldn't have any personal ties to him that might make them overlook his insanity.

Short version: Yes, Jenred is crazy enough to worry about going crazy and take crazy precautions to deal with himself.
