Do I or Don't I? Malefactor....

[Dark Link]

In my opinion, it entirely depends on whether or not your character has regained any of his memories regarding his previous life, especially in relation to DA. Your character is one of the few to come from the same universe that DA originates from, so Retane has an actual history with the event, which would no doubt influence his decision.

If he hasn't recovered any of his memories, then he might assess the situation with a clear mind and could potentially regard the artefact as too valuable/volatile to be used in an event like DA. If, however, he HAS regained his memories, then he very well might be eager/desperate enough to win to take it with him.
