Give up his revenge? It might seem like power was what was driving him, but all that was is a requirement to pay back everyone that had hurt him, his family and his people in one way or the other. Sure his mannerisms might not have shown it, but dwarves, humans, elves and vampires, the four main races responsible for the enslavement of the Beast people and the colonization of their lands had no love lost from Asd, in fact it would be much easier to say he didn't trust any one of them and would prefer never to be in the same vicinity with any one of them. yet he had fallen in love with a human and gotten bonded with a vampire, it was really a roller coaster of events as it seemed as if the universe had set him up right from the very beginning.
