I knew a guy like that, yeah - he was pissed about his race being driven extinct by hypocritical dragon politics and decided he wanted to press 'restart' on the world. Sometimes the world does crappy things, but you work towards fixing it. Not wipe everything out on a holier-than-thou temper tantrum. Buttchin Elf sounds like an ass, but if he's a god what's stopping him?
You know, I believe that when it comes to your scruffy man.
