My character Sleanra did. While she was in Old Grehk she was raped. A
bit later, a rebellion broke out at the behest of one noble. An Old
Grehkian duke instructed his men to capture the rebelling noble and rape
her and do some other nasty things. Sleanra didn't find that acceptable
and demanded punishment for the duke. Old Grehks council refused. So she
left the realm. A few others followed her to Riombara in that. So you
actually saw both in this situation. The evil duke and the "good"
Sleanra. I must also say the situation was fun to play out. Don't be
afraid to venture into deeper waters with your characters ;)

In any case, the vast majority of the characters in BM are neither good
or evil. You don't even notice them unless they happen to miss some
important battle or mess up. Simply because they never speak or interact
in any meaningful way with other characters. They're a bit like an
automated stage where those that want to, play good or evil or something
in between.

Still, I don't think there's any shortage of evil characters in
Battlemaster. They're just not the type of evil that when they pass you
on the street they'd make you go "That man is *evil*".
