A more interesting question might be: Will those trying to use Vlad find that he's still under their control, or will Vlad find his *own* purpose, perhaps one that is contrary to that which the powers-that-be-desire? (Or at least, contrary to what they thought they desired?) Thinking primarily of Verra here, will Vlad truly remain her "tool", or will his plans come to be more important than hers? I suppose the concept of the "tool that evolves to supercede the will of his masters" is a story that has been played out before, but it's one I find to be quite compelling, and it would be interesting to see SKZB's take on it.
