I love it when a character has a reputation for being a certain way and then you actually take the time to look at them, really look at them, and it turns out not only is everyone wrong about them, they're wrong about them in exactly the way that the character wants them to be wrong about them. Like congratulations! It was an act and you fell for it!
I'm at that part of chapter three my friends, so let me be a reminder that Colm O'Driscoll's plan to lure in Dutch after taking Arthur failed because nobody came looking for him.
He would have died being held captive any longer, he barely escaped.
