[Ian nods; he thought that would be the case, but it was better to make sure.
Now where to start...? Ian licks his lips to give himself a moment to consider, before deciding to just go for it.]
As far as I can figure, he was intended to be the replacement for Aigallon. There's another in white, presumably to take the place of Candelira and Luckyuro.
[A rueful grin.] Seems like those two really were as bad at their jobs as we thought. Soon after the point you're from, it seems the order to eliminate them was given. I don't know much about their in-fighting [it's not like he ever stopped to ask what was going on], but that's how it looked to me.
