To the left, what better way for Aliera to cover up her affair with Kragar 
than to violently berate him publicly at every opportunity?

I'm just sayin'.

I just love it, though, how the folks on the list are still able to 
justify theories where Kragar is secretly Mario, despite *direct* evidence 
to the contrary in the latest book. Of course, it is fun to speculate... 
And I can understand how it's hard to give up on a theory that seems 
really cool.

Frankly, I think the revealed stuff about Kragar in /Dzur/ is cool enough 
as it is. He doesn't need to actually *be* Mario.
