The Society: Darrow is an abomination, a demon, don’t fight him alone. A god of war, killer of men

In the institute one of the biggest lessons Darrow learned was how to get the respect of others, and how to get them to let him lead them. When to offer praise and when to take responsibility for his own failings in public and dramatic ways. He learned when he needed to make concessions he didn’t want to.

i wanna add one thing, even before attending the institute, darrow had leadership qualities. he was the helldiver, he was the most important person of his clan that kids looked up to. and even at 16 he was thinking about feeding the people of his clan, how he can improve their lives, taking on that responsibility. institute helped him learn the rules and ways of gaining power among golds. he built himself from the ground with his own skill and wit.

exactly!! like many people think darrow only gained leadership qualities and man of those virtues that are common in iron golds after being carved into a gold but it's very obvious from the beginning that without knowing about these virtues or iron golds he embodies many of these typical gold virtues and skills
