Or does everything Paarfi says cast him in a useful light - e.g., >the actual Pel is much cleverer and manipulative than the Paarfian Pel? Or is it possibly for the entirely practical reason that he is dead, and therefore not able to contest the account if he'd wanted to? The fates of most of the characters in the Paarfi books are not known, save for the ones who we know are dead, and the ones who Paarfi directly states are still alive at the time of his writing. (This includes Khaavren, Piro and Ibronka.) Majikjon
