Yes.
The Archon also creates ghouls, chauggoth spiders, Torban, orbeck, nordali, and a whole host of shuffling dead or undead creatures to plague the world with.
I somewhat based the Archon off of AlGore.
I would assume the Archon is preparing an army of soldier/servants to do battle with another powerful entity.
One problem for the Archon may be that the nature of the battle and the ultimate battlefield may be unknown until the battle is joined.
Even the role of Karsh may be unknown in the battle.
I can see that the battle is not going to go well for the Archon, but it might turn into an opportunity for Karsh.
I can also see that the telling of this story might require six books.
