#based on those memoirs I think the fact that he remembers his pre farseer years in his adolescence makes a huge difference

Chade may have destroyed the childhoods of multiple children but his character is so funny hes a bastard prince who lived in a wall for twenty years, has a coke addiction, canonically gets more pussy than any other character in the entire series, is the hottest 100 year old man ever, named his only son LANTERN (he's killed a lot of people but like this might be worse), he's a bad surrogate father and also biological father (wonder where fitz learned that one), he loves experimental drugs, he invented explosives. What a guy!
