You know, I really love Vir as a character, but excusing his silence in the face of mass murder due to personal loyalty is a little tough for me.
This is quite fascinating because I never thought about Vir's guilt until now. It never even occurred to me that he was guilty, but you're right, he *is*. Maybe I was too focused on Londo's obvious faults to see this before.
Anyway, I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said before, but I wanted to thank you for initiating this debate.
(Also, I understand perfectly well what you meant but it's been bugging me... Narns are not fully human. They are fully Narn. Maybe "fully sentient" would be more appropriate? I'm not sure...)
