Eh, why though? The guy is wearing Asterion's pelt as he interacts with us, which you can bet he personally and painfully skinned off of Asterion. He is happy to have a crafty master because he's convinced we'll switch to his side eventually because it's the "righteous" thing to do. Hell, even his acceptance of being tricked could easily be an act to make us like him more - Play as a Leader or Humanities background and when you meet him the second time, he tries a very good sob story because you outfoxed him so hard on the first contract, proving he's not above some decent acting.
Hmm, maybe I'll make a whole discussion thread for Argos, I'm curious to hear more from his fans, and to just chat about him in detail.
Edit: Urgh, my browser crashed about 4 big paragraphs deep on such a post, so nevermind giving him his own thread. I suppose we can just keep it here in the build discussion page instead.
