Let us assert that the pharisees were perfect in mosaic law. If we shall equally assert that the mosaic law was used to condemn a perfectly innocent man to death, we can say that the OT law would condemn everyone else. Eg if OT laws were to apply, no one would be saved post JC.

I vote for anything that doesn't contain the word "of" in position 2

I wasn't thinking mystery... more...

That Dictates cover makes me think of the Tomb of Jesus and Easter and things like that... can you fantasy it up or reconsider the title?

Do it!

Bzzt!

A quirk that helps empathize, agree 100%.

A flaw? I dunno.

People are calling Trump unfit to lead because he doesn't want to brief as much as past presidents. Is his distaste for debriefing a flaw? Or does he want to focus his time/energy elsewhere and trusts the people around him more than past presidents? If he uses the extra time to golf, yes, it's a flaw because he has a job to do and isn't doing it.

So the question becomes is Anver shirking his duties or trying to steer his priorities?

mmm I don't classify those as flaws...

Not wanting a job (but getting stuck with it) = obstacle
Not wanting power but getting stuck with it = obstacle
Staff that won't listen to him = minion
Vulnerability = weakness

eg Superman's weakness to Kryptonite I wouldn't call a flaw. More, his steadfast assumption that all men contain good.

If Jaylene is decaying as per Norm's suggestion, I wouldn't call that a flaw. Rather a flaw would be her ignoring the decay.... or her willingness to gamble her friends lives because she's going to die anyway and just doesn't care.

I make this distinction because adding weaknesses / vulnerabilities doesn't make a character more or less flat by itself. (Flat - assuming the editor called Jaylene flat) - it just makes certain scenes easier to write. eg Putting Anver in a wheelchair is insufficient to increase his interest level.

Approaching it from this angle, I can't see Anver as having any flaws. I do re-submit: does he need flaws? Yes, Batman is deeply flawed, but if he wasn't, could DC still sell movie tickets? I would say yes - Batman is interesting because of his approach to problem-solving more than his flaws.

Side question: Why don't you read the replies in X-line format?

It was an inline? The site probably still has it
