Yeah I don't understand how so many hate Algus for being a jackass yet praise Delita. Delita's the more despicable individual by far.
Not really. Algus is a complete bastard who hates people solely for being born to the "wrong" parents. Almost everyone Delita kills is a jackass themselves and probably not better to have in positions of power than he is. The handful of non-jackasses he has run ins with tend to survive. He helped Ramza and Orlandu instead of trying to kill them (although they did benefit his plans by living), he didn't kill Balmafula, he never killed Olan, he only eventually killed Ovelia when she tried to kill him first. You can argue Zalmo probably wasn't a bad guy, and that's about it. He's not exactly a saint but in the overall scheme of FFT and its world full of giant dicks, he's one of the lesser evils for sure.
