Thomas the Assassin

(1/3) > >>

g33k:
As (presumably) everyone knows by now, Thomas seems to be accused of being an assassin, either in the upcoming Peace Talks or the followup Battle Ground (per the trailer).

I've seen the suggestion that it's a frame-up; or maybe that Thomas was doing something else, more insidious/objectionable (like Whamp'ing a svartalven lover into revealing critical info); or maybe preventing a threat to Justine; etc.

How about "none of the above" -- it really was an assassination mission.  Assigned (by the Archive) as part of the Oblivion War... so Thomas can't/won't actually reveal anything; but the accusation is essentially true.
 

exartiem:
This could be interesting.  If one of the guests of the svartalves was the last mortal to have knowledge of some ancient god-thing and was getting ready to blab about it, then Thomas could go kill them and erase the god-thing.

This would put Thomas into a bind.  If he tells anyone why he did it he might undo his whole purpose for the killing.  Worse, he might reveal the existence of the Oblivion War, possibly doing irreparable damage to the cause.

Bad Alias:
Jim has said that the Oblivion War won't come up in the main novels because the participants do not want wizards involved.

Arjan:
That was years ago. He can change his mind if that leads to better books.

Bad Alias:
I just think it makes it less likely. Jim has changed his mind about some things. I'd like him to change his mind about it because I think the Oblivion War is one of his coolest ideas.
