...is it just me, or is Zevran deliberately removing all ties to whomever is the real instigator here? He's not that clumsy, far from it. The guy's been an assassin since his pre-teen years, he knows how to knock someone out. And yet all of a sudden he's all Mr Butterfingers with his blades?
Most likely he's working for the instigators themselves, and erasing all trails now that their stooges have been compromised.
...though I have to admit I never did understand the fandom Zevran has attracted. He's a charmer, sure, but evil is often attractive.
