"'It was the Rope, the patron god of assassins who possessed you. Yet your memories are --'
' Dancer's.'...'The Rope has another name. Cotillion...No-one doubted that the assassinations occurred. Both Dancer and the Emperor...murdered by Laseen and her chosen Clawmasters. What did Laseen do with the bodies? No-one knows.'
'So Dancer lived,'...'And ascended. Became a patron god in the Warren of Shadow.' - (DG, UK mmpb, p.196)
"An assassin's. Once mortal, then Ascendant...At least it was so in the case of Dancer, who did not kill for coin, but for a cause that was less self-aggrandizing than you might think. In his mind, he was a man who fixed things. He viewed himself as honourable. A man of integrity, was Dancer. But efficiency was a cold-blooded master." - (DG, UK mmpb, p.686)
