It's also interesting to hear the "God" making so many compromises just so that he can use Rudy.
It's obviously fishy in the first place, why would he have interest in him... but having to do compromises like that and having to win him over means he is not in a position of power.

my personal gold this episode was:

"I haven't assaulted a castle in ages!" and him being genuinely sad about not being allowed to attack them.
