Now I wonder if perhaps Mario was perhaps involved in training up
other skilled assassins.  Like, say, the Sword of the Jhereg.  Which
would give him another reason to become involved in the South
Adrilankha issue.  And maybe also the Dagger of the Jhereg.  Which
might be why he calls her that.

Poor Vlad.  "Did the whole *world* know Mario before I met him?!?"

Heh.
