[Atem's head is perfectly clear about that. And, to prove it, as they approach the door:]
Elias Liewen is evil, incompetent, or both, with schemes that never work and only cause trouble for the rest of us. He gets people to follow him by making them feel like heroes, like they're right to fight and resist, when doing that only makes monsters suffer more than they have to. He might be the second most powerful being on the peninsula, but he has no idea how to get us out, and acting like he might is pretty slimy!
[It's said without hesitation. It's not particularly creative, but it's honest: no embellishment to try to make it more convincing. Good enough?]
Believe me, if my feelings changed about Elias, I'd know!
