Vlad's meeting with the Demon, Kragar's appearance when they investigate Loraan's "stash" .. I'd have to say that Kragar's "invisibility" is definitely not Vlad's humor, but more a real attribute .. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Hart [mailto:philiph at SLAC.Stanford.EDU] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 12:44 AM To: Mark A Mandel Cc: Dragaera List Subject: Re: Kragar (was: A thought concerning Skinter's future...)

That would be _Jhereg_ I think - Vlad's meeting with the Demon where he says he won't sully Morollan's honor. I don't see this as dispositive of the Kragar-actually-visible theory, though obviously even less positive.
