Did they not want a Soud Composer in place? Maybe. Something fishy about it all. Interestingly in the years since, a minor alliance began between Song Temple and those Tannery assassins, at least some of whom we know are criminal expats.

As tensions rise up there, we're certain these murderers will be further utilized."
