Bertholt is so interesting, and he could only appeal to the empathetic few, not many people would understand him like you do, masterofbator. The sad thing about him, was the fact that all of this pain and damage to, and from bertholt came from a very selfless act he made. We learn that his father had cancer (and later died) and, bertholt became a shifter through this, with the aim of getting his father title of "honourable marleyan" upon his own free will.

Calling him 'selfish" from the fact that bertholt just wanted to go home is just wrong, when you put this into context. Bertholt ultimately died by being nice, and selfless.
