Hey, everyone, notice how they ducked the question about whether he's an Urgathoan cultist? Suspicious, says I.
It could even be that he brought the shadows down on us.
If he's the secret Urgathoa cultist we need to negotiate with him so the shadows go away!
(we can always assassinate him later, but we can't be saying that where he can hear)

I'm not saying I am the Urgathoa cultist, but if you think I am then I'd be willing to order the shadows to go away in exchange for two scrolls of teleport and 50,000 gp.
I'll leave first so you can't murder me and then command the shadows to stop once I'm safely in my secret private sanctum.
That is the sort of behaviour that made Pharasma put her face in her hands and weep (and let us get eaten by shadows).

I know I'm not behind this because I'm not that much of an idiot, but go off I guess.
little-Cheliax
I know from observation you're an idiot, so if you think you're not you must have modified all your memories!
He's the cultist!
No, you idiot, we're mindcontrolling the cultist into restoring our families from their shadow forms!

You know, it's kind of strange how many people in Korvosa's leadership are attractive women.
I mean, while only Ileosa gets the whole
"Queen Ileosa was a woman of breathtaking beauty, with red hair like the sunset, chaste alabaster skin, and features so fetching many claimed her mother must have been a nymph queen, as surely no mortal woman could give birth to a beauty such as she."
treatment, basically everyone who rates an entire adjective gets one what says they're pretty.
Lady Leroung is "lovely," Field Marshall Merrin's "a gothic beauty," the Seneschall is "ethereal" "has large wide-open eyes" and "was cleaned up nicely", the Vault Colonel -

Ahahayeah, what a wacky coincidence that the best person for that job had eyes that shine like wish-grade diamonds and perfection written on every line and curve of her body.
How wackily coincidential this all is.
Let's change the topic.

Wait, okay, but Queen Ileosa's dubious hiring practices can't have had anything to do with the head of House Leroung or ex-Field Marshall Cressida Kroft.

...Yes? She's described as, paraphrasing, "a harried and tired-looking, attractive, dark-haired human woman dressed in red armor." [Edge of Anarchy pg. 26]
