Sins and Crimes are two very different things...
As an officially sanctioned privateer of Limsa Lominsa Merl has committed many sins, but none of them were crimes.... not exactly.
* Killing (I won't call this murder, since it is done in combat)
* Pillaging of ships.
* Torture of enemy combatants and pirates (please understand that this torture is brutal and unconditional, including things that most sane people would consider above and beyond)
The list goes on. However, since the removal of officially sanctioned privateers and the advent of the Maelstrom, Merl has left the majority of his crimes behind. Now they are just sins of his past. Now, his sins consist mostly of lewd and lascivious behavior...
