I was under the impression that Harpers, would choose to work AGAINST such a force of good as it threatens the balance between good and evil. Now even though they fight against the good, doesnt mean they are evil, it means they are evening out the scales. So, ergo, the same would apply when they fight against evil would it not? They are not trying to be good, they are trying to keep the balance? But, as is usually the case, evil is always present, and almost always outways the good in the world, which is why the Harpers are usually seen fighting against it.

Hm... You raise an interesting point. I don't know if the Harpers would work against it directly. This is a gross imbalance of power, in their eyes, and nothing can truly be immensely powerful and truly good, short of a god. They might refuse to work with it, or perhaps undermine it... But work against it? How could they work against it without doing evil?
