Haha, well I don't think it has to change your perspective of him too much, since he's spent way more time being a god than a human. I think him having been a human does give him some perspective on what human emotions feel like, so he's not wandering around frustrated by the illogical meat beasts. It also probably does affect who he chooses to mark, if even in a subconscious way, but that's not so different from what we already knew.

One thing I think is kind of interesting though, is that he isn't necessarily empathizing with the people he marks. He chooses remarkable people who've suffered from unjust treatment, the sort of people who could do great good but would also be the most likely to want revenge. So he almost seems to be asking what happens to a person when they've been an outcast and treated unfairly--how does that affect them? And who will they become when they finally gain power? Very interesting indeed...
