It's interesting that he would have what appears to be a Garlean surname if his parents weren't (I assume, if it wasn't a consensual relationship?) married. I wonder if Lentius is the Garlean equivalent of a bastard-name (ala Greystone), or if his Waking Sands dialogue might have been yet another English localization blooper, and his parents' relationship misrepresented. In fact, I kinda hope that turns out to be the case, since I'd personally find a Garlean defecting because he or she fell in love with one of the locals a more compelling story than 'har har, the Garleans regularly abuse the local women, look how evul they are!'
