He also had some good sides to him but we should not forget that he was also ready to kill and also still called us a savages. His early death was saddly something that stopped him from being a deeper character. It would have been nice to see him react to this lie and where his loyalities would have lied.

Speaking of Hydrus, in retrospect part of me wonders if Elidibus wanted him out of the way because he was loyal to Varis personally. That masked kid he sent to work with us DID try to spring a trap for Hydrus though it wasn't successful, and Varis' position would be stronger with Hydrus around and loyal to him. His death in HW leaves Varis without an asset he'd find very useful if he ends up working against the Ascians.

Probably just coincidence.
