I agree, I think our celery chaser has set Clyntahn up with very Hitler like personality. Where if they end up being too weak to defend "god's church", then they deserve to die... ALL of them.
Just like Hitler tried to destroy Germany since they proved too weak to hold the Reich.
I agree - as long as there's the smallest possibility of God miraculously saving the Church, Clyntahn will continue to rant and rave and order the deaths of anyone who might be getting in the way of that glorious victory.
But, again like Hitler, if it finally comes down to heretics at the doors of the Temple, I don't think Clyntahn would let them take him alive. (Even better if it was a method that took them out with him.)
What I'm not quite sure about is whether there'd be any moment before the heretics arriving at the doors in which Clyntahn would recognize that he needed to flee to save himself. He's nasty enough that I could totally see him abandoning everyone to do so, but he's also fanatic enough that I'm not sure he'd ever get to a point where he could admit even to himself that he'd need to save himself - at least not before it was too late for him to actually do so.
