Jerkass Has a Point: He may be a shithead, but he's excellent at killing people, and doesn't hesitate to point out when Monza & co. bungle their own end of the various killings. Klingon Promotion: He takes part in the attempted assassination of the Murcatto siblings and then takes Monza's place as the general of the Thousand Swords. Notably, he actually didn't want to take part in the assassination or the promotion, but his hand was forced by Orso. Acquired Poison Immunity: Regularly takes small doses of his own poisons. It doesn't save him in the end.

Pet the Dog: He always tries to do a bit of good/spare at least one person when "on the job"... although without much success. In the end, Monza is Grand Duchess of Talins just as Benna had planned, one of the only stable states in Styria. She has fulfilled Shenkt’s plan all along, a strong leader in Styria, supported by neither Bayaz nor Khalul.
