In Eater of Souls Meren finds Akhenaton's death troubling for many reasons. One of which was the level of personal involvement he had with Akenaton, "Then he'd been but eighteen and a prisoner of the heretic pharoah Akhenaten...After killing Meren's father for refusing to adopt the new god. Akhenaton had imprisoned the son and tested him. Beatings, Starvation, threats, nothing had broken Meren,"(31). Akhenoten had been a hated and horrible pharoah, and Meren knew how many people would kill him.
