Morte starts with 20 HP, an AC of 4, and a CON of 16, which can be upgraded to 18. Vhailor starts with 100 HP, an AC of 2 (lower is better), and a CON of 18.

I'm not arguing that Morte isn't fun to use, or that his taunts aren't a valuable strategic advantage. But the numbers are there. Vhailor is a superior tank.
