Okay, so there's this idea I've been toying with Chrysallus.

During lws4, he kinda has this moment where his mind just- shifts. There seems to be no obvious cause (other than potential stress finally getting to him) and it's not noticeable until he and Canach is putting up the bramble walls for their staging ground in Kourna.

They had to clear out the guards and the sentries, preferably without drawing attention for reinforcements.

Setting up the bramble walls for Canach took no time at all. Chrysallus, on the other hand, took far longer. The only indication that he was still there was him grabbing many more bombs and having a field day decimating any and all troops present on the field, explosions echoing in the distance.

When the bramble walls came up and he returned, Chrysallus had this strangely off putting grin, giggling about how much he's enjoying seeing his enemies blown to pieces. Out of character, for someone who is usually calm and collected.

My thought for this: Chrysallus is the Pact Commander. He has followed fairly close to the actual game plot. But what if, due to just a misplaced object or two, he ended up getting hypnotized back in Caudecus's Manor in lws3?

Anyone who chose the "run away to the circus" option in character creator may remember the grizwhirl in the human PS. It was practically a brainwashing device.

What if there was one in there, and while Chrys was mumbling his Soundless-esque mantras to rein his emotions in, he was staring at one that happened to be on, and now his brain is shut off while his impulses take the reins

Going back to blowing up the guards in Kourna, he was nervous about getting caught and recited his mantras. Unfortunately, they now function kind of like trigger phrases, and now every time he uses them to calm down, now he's self-hypnotizing himself and he's acting on impulses he never would normally

Still needs some thought, but my brain is going brrrrrr
