Talk:Daud's Journal: Billie Lurk/@comment-29735342-20160826200129/@comment-26536672-20160826203749

One could suppose that Daud's perspective on the matters varies depending on who is playing him and how. A low-chaos Daud, for instance, could simply be perceived as not being, y'know, a merciless bastard. A high-chaos Daud, on the other hand, would execute Billie and regard it as a necessary, yet unfortunately belated, action.

In both scenarios, there is nevertheless a pragmatic case for not gutting Billie the moment we meet her. Firstly, being shifty is probably an admirable trait for a supernatural assassin. If, as Daud, one of my underlings was earnest and gregarious, I would probably give them the boot. Secondly, Billie is/was an incredibly skilled and useful individual whose efficacy as a lieutenant outstripped her lack of obsequous dedication.

In any case, my own varint of Daud views her betrayal as a mere perpetuation of a kratokratic culture among the Whalers. I duly forgave her.
