Oh I think those two are the same as the warrior, lol. My archetypes have a little tolerance. But there’s definitely a dual strand – the ‘dark’ hero (waylander) and the ‘light’ one (druss). Both ends up characterised by both aspects usually though, which is why in Gemmell theory they’re unified.
Best one was lion of Macedon. I still think about that sometimes.
