Yeah. Tavlin really put a crimp in my style, but he could have been so, so much worse.

The main things Tavlin did were:

1. Cause everybody to quit out that I wanted to kill,
2. Make it much more dangerous for me to effectively stalk people who had the twitchy edge,
3. Kill people I was stalking before I could kill them myself.

He was at least a good source of "witty banter". And he seemed to like giving me advice on what I should do with the Empire.
