it says he never held field commands nor governed. he was also the second strongest male and gave the DO the bulk of his armies for hundreds (thousands maybe?) of years. i think he deserves higher than mesaana, graendal, asmodean and possibly belal and sammael (who wants a defensive genius when you're trying to expand?)
Aginor was a terrible General and Governor, and was only still around toward the end because he was experimenting on the Fades and making the Gholam.
I'm not sure if Asmo was any better... he was equally bad at being a general, but he did create significant chaos in the realms he governed. That's enough, I think, to endear him to the DO a bit more than Aginor. Plus, Asmo is a sycophant... he could easily have been attached to one of the more powerful Chosen, whereas Aginor was always in competition with the other more powerful Chosen. Balthamel was his sycophant.

If that is the case why was Ishy far enough away to have been free long before anybody else? *NM*

If that is the case why wasn't Ishy completely bound, allowing him to be free at key points?
