[calmon]

If you want a good pretender build with him, take this:

5 death (for fear +0)
6 earth (for more protection)
10 dominion (for awe +2)

Rest in Scales (Order 3, etc.)

The set him in frontline alone with attack closest comand and attack the first province. He will take over most of the independent provinces just with his Awe, Fear and his good protection. Try not to attack undeads (because of their high morale value)
