Ow my brain hurts.
Did I start all of this Sparrow thing, which then led on to the third age/Stoic discussion? Oops if I did.
Well I still think it's Gino, and if not Gino, then the clown in the storage room by the port. Definitely. And now I answer some Gin0-Q's:
"How come Gino gives them weapons just to destroy him?"
Well, Gino does indeed give Shroud and Stoic weapons, but that is in Arc I, before Sparrow, when he eventually does start charging, Sparrow's there. If Gino, after all, would give Stoic and Shroud weapons, he would know how to counter then, but this is before my theory comes in, that EK approached him. ((here it is >>>)) Now why would Gino suddenly start charging? Well obviously EK have approached him in some way or another and involved him, maybe with a death threat. After all that is the norm in the MotW series, or maybe they offered him wealth, or great teachings of magic, heck, even a job at EK! These are all things that EK have to offer without much trial.
"How would EK know that Gino was involved with Shroud and Stoic?"
Easy, they spy. This IS prooven by the actual game and not just a theory, as Torin was a spy, and they go on to say that there are more, and as they are opening up an EK in Port Arianna, then guess what! There must be spies there! And Gino's is easily just a few second walk away from the Port.
"Why would Gino (Sparrow) kill Torin"
Why wouln't he? He must have been ordered by EK of course, and offered some sort of "upgrade" or "promotion" in EK.
"Why do you write all this?"
Simple. I have no life except for Master of the Wind.
