Not an unreasonable extrapolation of his role in _Jhereg_.
However, wozname in _Jhereg_ had stolen the Council Treasury, which is, I
think, in need of significantly more face-saving than ratting out the Jhereg.
We see that the former merits Morganti, now, regardless; we see, also from
Jhereg, that the latter merits Morganti, but not now and probably not
regardless.
And when the guy ratting out the Jhereg:
a) has a Great Weapon
b) has three buddies with Great Weapons
c) has someone who would revenge him who was part of the second-best
assassin team in the Jhereg and whose best friend is the Dragon Heir
d) has the favor of the Empress
e) has the favor of the Demon Goddess
f) is a favorite uncle of another goddess
g) is only going to live another fifty years even if he's not assassinated
the Jhereg might be well be willing to temper their wrath.
Could go either way. I figure SKZB is likely to come up with an
interesting solution....
