He's a\ngood man (at least we're told so, and I suppose the sententious advice he\nendlessly dispenses means we're supposed to believe it) and has a strong\nsense of responsibility, but he's neither ascetic nor particularly\nself-sacrificing, and his behavior towards Jahlee and Juganu (not to mention\nNettle) is hardly saintlike.\n\nAnd afaik he never attempts to redeem either Jahlee or Juganu (or even\nFava). He may have compassion for Jahlee, but he takes for granted that she\nwill always be amoral and drink human blood.\n\n--Adam"
