"...with tragic backgrounds ending in a pure hate of Alukai or one of his
Mage Marshalls."

We might want to encourage him to expand on this particular background
element to allow for more shades of gray. The game will be more satisfying
for the players (and the DM) in the long term if the characters reasons for
banding together are more diverse even if they are all united in their
dislike of the bad guys.
