	By far the greatest thing that led Jonathan down the path of [[corruption]] was the influence of the Gathering Cloth, a collector and magnifier of [[Evil]].

These included freeing Morgoth<ref>ToDS p. 204</ref> and even the [[murder]] of Brother Leo.<ref>ToDS p. 241</ref>		By far the greatest thing that led Jonathan down the path of [[corruption]] was the influence of the Gathering Cloth, a collector and magnifier of [[Evil]].
