We know there's something cutting out the legs from under lesser consortiums. We know he controls the Brass Blades. He's got a chance to outright seize unchallenged power, and do it in front of everyone, and get away with it. You're telling me that's out of character for him? He'll win, completely and utterly, and the only people who would oppose him would be ruined by him first.You're making it sound like he cares about PR.
I'm not saying he grows a heart. I'm saying he makes enough of a show with public PR to trick everyone into thinking he does while he sleeps on the riches of all of the people he betrayed and killed to get there.
He doesn't. Otherwise the whole Chefsbane thing would have never happened, otherwise people wouldn't use his name in fear even PRIOR (Ul'dah questline, around level 13, before the Traders' Spurn thing - likely more moments as well but I can't remember them off hand) to this development.
I'll do you one better - show me foreshadowing that he actually does care about his reputation because right now I'm not seeing it.
