It was a bit tricky to find the combination of words to get what I think you are remembering, but it would appear to be in /Yendi/, chapter 8: Morrolan: "Have you met Vlad's assistant, Kragar? He's as much of a Dragon --" Aliera (interrupting Morrolan): "That snake? He was thrown out of the House, as you well know." The thing is, we don't know what Morrolan was going to say. It might have been "as you or I" (definitely yes), or it might have been "as Vlad is" (definitely no), or "as Sethra is" (definitely ambiguous, but possibly half-breed). And we don't know if what he *was* going to say was correct or not. Aliera's use of the word "snake" is interesting. It might apply to either Skinter (as a rebel), or a Dragon-Yendi (or Dragon-Jhereg, jhereg are also reptiles) half-breed. > > Now that I think about it, though, I suppose one could make the >case that Aliera would never have done a gene-probe on Kragar, so >both of them could have been mistaken about Kragar's lineage.
