That's true.

Well reasoned.

He gained the seat through magical power and manipulating other people. Which considering the amount of damage done by that abusive bastard, is nutjob territory in Terramagne.
Now put those two aspects together. The novels lay out a clear pattern of abuse that goes back to the previous generation, and hints of farther back. So a logical trajectory in Terramagne would be uncovering that so it could actually be dealt with.
