Meant to say earlier that bynw should be part of your writing team if you ever get together to write again. No one does a lovely evil character like bynw!!

I do agree that Feyd is not a murderer or really even an evil person or not very bad.  Maybe at some point Iain can explain a little. The Assassins sort of bring counter-balance to the really evil people, but are not per se evil on their own. I don't think they would take a murder-for-hire job that would be just because someone didn't like someone else. I'm sure their fees would place them out of the reach of every-day commoners, anyway. I like Feyd and the Guild. Would love to see more of them.

I have to disagree. What he did to Wash, which not a part of the contract, was evil. I cannot see him as a good person at all. He might be fun sometimes and certainly adds to the story but not good at all.

I will admit that Feyd is an interesting character. We have not seen enough of him to know  his motives as of yet. I am curious as to what his true motives are. I am certain that everything Feyd does is calculated and within the Code of his Order. He is not a rogue in his order, there is a master plan in place and he is following it. Although  he may very well be the master of that plan, we don't know enough about the order to know if some one  over Feyd is actually calling the shots.
I just don't like that the Morgan family seems to be the bait. Don't much like being bait. Wash has been and still is fight back.

Bynw is running the game, so he has created a number of NPCs, including Feyd (and all his personae).  ;)

I think Feyd is an interesting character, and I'd like to know more about his motives and his Order, but I can't say that I think he's a "good" character in the sense of good vs evil.  He has a code of honor (a very weird one!), but he is ruthless to a degree that would appall even those members of the Camberian Council who felt at one point that Kelson wasn't ruthless enough.
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)

HoundMistress

I don't think of Feyd as a positive character, but definitely a very interesting one, which is why I'd love to see at least one story about him. Obviously only people with certain skills are invited to join the Assassins' Guild, since Iain was invited in the past. Feyd had a reason for kidnapping Wash & I'd love to know what that reason was, although it may have been solely to gain access to Teymuraz.  We won't know till it's revealed.

I just Read "Forgiveness" and liked it very much!!

It's so nice that Feyd has a fan base. More will come out about Feyd as this adventure arc winds down.

Complex villains like Feyd are much more interesting than ones who are simply "bad to the bone."   Though he may have a code of honour in his own way, but I would never trust him.  (Neither does Sir Iain.)  If we all survive this, I do look forward to knowing his background story.

I look forward to more of him, too. He definitely has a very different sense of right & wrong. I'm sure Iain turned them down because he was not in agreement with their particular code of ethics for assassins, if you will. 

I've been watching Downton Abbey, so I think my sentence construction has been somewhat affected.

 I love Downton Abbey. I just rewatched the whole series and movie a few weeks ago. They say they might do one more movvie. That would be great. Just to watch the costumes.
I love all clothing from nearly every era of the past. I love to imagine what  the Deryni are wearing. Cambers time is kirtles and robes of 900-1000. But I think of Kelson's time as a little more advanced that the real dates. I think of clothes from the 1300-1400's for Morgan, Ricehenda and Kelson. So much veriaty of clothes are available in the past.

Darcy doesn't act like a proper lord?  Well, just imagine that!   ;D

Well done, Laurna!  I enjoyed this little piece. Pity Darcy will have to leave the Reeve mostly intact....

Really liked this little scene. Everyone is coming together so am hoping Revanne can get Columcil involved again. We need him. Although Paulos does nothing overtly to to arouse suspicions, I do get little hints that he is not exactly what he seems. Fiona doesn't trust him. Wonder if Darcy will remember his dream and wonder of it means anything.

Oh! Bynw, a very interesting little scene you have given us. Just who is Father Paulos and Who is the master? And if the spell on the ruby is more rare than what is known in Kelson's realm, than I only hope we will find a way to dispel it. Even I am curious how this will play out.

Very interesting indeed, Bynw!  Feyd has quite a knack for messing around in the mind's of others, and maybe even his own!

Well you two asked for something from Father Paulos's point of view. So that's what came up :)
