Yes, Perdil wanted Lissa dead. I don't think he ever actually met her though but he would at least know she existed. It would be just like Kifirin though to place an m'fiya or something on I'm for Lissa as some sort of cruel and unusual punishment for wanting to kill her...actually this is jogging something in my memory...was something like that done to him?
Actually, I am thinking he wanted her under his thumb rather than dead. Not sure a M'Fiyah had anything to do with it.
One thing to be aware of going forward: the timelines are changing, and what has gone before may not be counted on to resemble how it settles down after the War is decided. Memories are being created and bodies are disappearing.
Yeah everything could change as the timelines are changing. This is so weird! I am not even will to make s stab at the mighty Mind at this point as to many things are happening!
IMHO - sometimes the difference between an asshat and a compassionate person is the ability to see a situation from another perspective. I don't think that Gavin has ever been a BAD guy. He is however a man who allows his emotions to rule him (funny how most of us forget that anger is just one emotion and that it usually is born of fear and hurt). Gavin was an ass to Breanne because he was scared that Lissa wasn't coming back, that Breanne was trying to take her place, and hurt because Lissa didn't explain anything to him (funny how that goes around).
Were his actions right? No. But do they mean that he was mind f'd to show something else? Also NO. I don't think that the Mind compelled him, screwed with his memories or anything else like that. I think that the Mind gave him a gift of expanding his perspective to see MORE and to see DEEPER than ever before.
Hmmmm, I was mostly joking/exaggerating but, seriously?
Even Gavin from the future when he got those memories was at a complete loss as to his actions. Gavin is a control freak, even without the mind cloud involved. He is a self professed autocrat. There is no way he would have just shrugged off her running around without supervision or taken all those surprises very well, much less keep them hidden from Wlodek.
Also I was talking about more than Gavin, the whole bunch of them. Lissa didn't kill anyone either yet look how she was treated, and all in spite of Gavin actually being in love with her. Bree didn't even get a vote, Wlodek just shrugged off her status of rogue.
And yes, even if the mind simply gave him a little more empathy/understanding that is still a change that drastically modified his personality.
