before season 7, ezor and zethrid were definitely not heroes, but they certainly weren’t torturous sadists. they switched sides so often they were essentially mercenaries, fighting whomever their leader told them to because they were damn good at it and it was a way to get by during such tumultuous times. ezor’s main traits were being clever and playful, while zethrid was most concerned with showing off her strength and her skill at fighting. neither of them showed themselves to be politically ambitious, nor especially cruel. it wasn’t until season 7, when they were hinted to be in a relationship, that they expressed a desire for power as well as an enjoyment of torturing other sentient beings. this shift from chaotic neutral to chaotic evil directly correlates with the implication of the pair as lesbian. it’s a really insidious type of homophobia.
