It's going to be interesting, for me, to see how he gets from the bad-ass assassin threatening the King of Greenaere, and disposing of Jhereg bosses with cool dispatch in /Phoenix/ to becoming the poncho-clad father-figure who "won't kill for you anymore!" in /Athyra/. 

...and hopefully he'll meet girls and have cool adventures along the way.
