As we know, there's no way Morrolan and Aliera could have both been around during the time when Kragar was thrown out. It had to either happen before the Interegnum, when only Aliera was around, or after (and before Aliera was brought back), when only Morrolan was around. Since Aliera says 'as you well know', it leads me to believe that Morrolan was either intimately involved with it, or at least around enough to hear about it. That sets the time-frame up for it to possibly be Skinter. Even more so if Morrolan was intimately involved with it. I still don't like the idea though. Mainly because I see Skinter as a little twerp, and Kragar as a really cool character. I just don't want them to be the same.
