What about Azel? He drives pretty much the entire plot
(though he doesn't hold all the cards).

I don't think that Azel was truly evil. Especially towards the end. I
think that he realized that he was bought, and fulfilled his commission to
the very end.
This is what I think that all of the Black Company books have in common.
People placed in circumstances simply trying to make the most of it.

Subject: (glencook-fans) Is Garrett really naive?
I just finished rereading the Garrett series and I had a thought. Faded
Steel Heat is the second to last book in the series and the bad guy is a
woman. As is usual with Garrett, it was one of the last people he
suspected. But in every single one of the books, the bad guy ends up
being one of the females. Excepting Sweet Silver Blues, in which a very
spoiled self centered female causes problems anyway, even if she is not
the main threat.
So, is Garrett ever going to put the woman on the top of the suspect
list, or does he keep getting duped? This may be superfluos anyway,
since only one more book is coming out. And I bet anything Belonda is
going to be a major evil in it.
