When I created Oblivion, I had a precise idea as to who he is. Maybe if everyone else just stayed out of it, I could render/design/program him and his world, and everything would be alright.

As Jeyo and I have been talking about (back when it was just the two of us, with no arguing) Korri has been weakened during his recent years of conquest, and needs a powerful ally to exploit for his own purposes. Oblivion filled that role exactly. By removing him, it necessitates the need for a new character on his own level.
