The last is my guess. He told me his role. If he told anyone else, please contact me ASAP provided you know what I mean by "favorite". I'm still undecided whether to just spill everything he's told me -- it feels like that should be his prerogative, or not. I'd appreciate feedback if anyone else has the information.
My best guess is he's telling me the truth about his role, but I don't believe he's allied with England. I think he's strictly neutral, and that neither major group (Town, Knights) can win while he's still alive, though either might conceivably benefit from (or be hurt by) his presence in the meantime.
Do what you want with that.
