Perhaps, but he was driven by a lust of power, to be the best. Something that would get him 'noticed' and put him on top, above everyone else. That was very much a driving (and distracting) force for him.

In addition, it is alluded to that he was also attracted to wealth.

To the fanfiction aspect again, I do appreciate you for the added information though, and the reference in particular. When I snarkily reply to fics in the future that go waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out there, I can at least cite this.

I'm also certain people will complain about how Daud may be written in the upcoming novel (usually by jealous sorts who can't get published on their own merits). Unless he really is honestly written out of character, I can steer these naysayers here and correct any perceived misconceptions they have with their own headcanons about such things. For that, I want to thank you. :)
