So, is the Ideal of Evil the God who sent down the 4 angels to destroy the ancient empire? Was the empire evil or is this just a broad misunderstood legend. Come to think about it, maybe it just don't know much about it to really know. I would of course assume the 4 angels was the God Hand, but why would evil battle what was deemed a evil Lord (Skull Knight)? To give the world a false sense of righteousness like Griffith is doing? Is SK atoning for his sins, or maybe the legend is simply working against him, attempting to show him as the bad guy in the situation.
