Ye he lost a lot of his old identity, but that doesn't hurt much to my mind. Old Swain had only little depth and the whole demonic theme just fits better than "old dude with a crow". The strange dude with a stick and a mutant parrot just doesn't fullfill the fantasy of the grant general of the very nation that is known for being cruel and dark.

An arrogant and aristocratic looking mage who uses demonic powers to drain the sould out of his enemies however fits just perfectly. Also being at the front doesn't mean that he doesn't have to be tacticious.

Personally I really like the new lore, personality and animations. Beatrice, although I will kinda miss her, only was a meme anyway and now she is immortilized in his joke. So no loss to my mind.
