Talk:The Cardinal/@comment-1500935-20181004210147/@comment-1500935-20181009225320

It doesn't change the fact that in the end the Cardinal's only purpose in the comics was being the disembodied face of Trinity when Dominguez was probably not yet thought up by the developers. This means the Cardinal was just a puppet antagonist with no presence nor apperance, who seemingly died off-screen. And that is a letdown.

It would have been better for the Cardinal to be Dominguez himself. Inferno even alludes to the Cardinal as the one who ordered Richard Croft's death, but this is contradicted by the last game.
