My concern is that we've seen Kragar as a guy with lots of contacts
and ways of finding out info, but I don't think we've seen him as
someone able to call on the assistance of powerful forces.  I'm
not sure _Yendi_ or _Teckla_ make obvious sense in light of this.

I certainly appreciate that Kragar has an interesting back story.

That's what I was getting at, if my claim is true.  But if it's as
simple as that, Mario's got to think Vlad is a bit stupid.
