He was very young and relatively naive/inexperienced during _Five Hundred Years After_, and was already a Jhereg. It's unlikely he'd already been kicked out of the House of the Dragon at that point. And its even more unlikely that he somehow was admitted later, during or just after the interregnum, and then kicked out. A further point against their being the same person: Aliera liked Mario, and she has shown she despises Kragar. cheers, Divya ---------- proaireisqai te dei adunata eikota mallon h dunata apiqama.
