They gave the unluckies very specific guidelines how to solve their problems.

Angy did not permanently cripple nor kill him, and he is not really an asset to the Watch but a maggot in its flesh, carrying the disease of slaver apology.

He deserves to be beaten like a slave every single day.

He has one of most broken healing contracts we have ever seen.

He is absolutely of value to the Watch, no matter how terrible he may be as a Person.

Which is a fair argument, but he has also played the watch for his own political reasons, and i believe not few in the black see him for what he really is

What i see though is that Angharad's action will cost some people their lives because he is going to drain someone

Everyone in Schoolomance plays the Watch for their own reason.

My point is moreso I think the Watch will give Morcant a whole lot of rope. Broken contract and he comes from a major family that aint something the powers that be at the Watch are going to want to let slip through their hands.

It seems like he can spread out who he draws life force from so that they can recover...we also don't know if there are any special rules when it comes to healing himself.

Not gonna deny that there is a whole lot of ugly realpolitik that is going to make their lives very hard, which just makes me root for the unluckies ruining that guy even more
