Hairlock was one of my favourite characters, and his death was very SE-ish... Build up a character, make him appear cule as hell, a fan-fav...
And then kill him.

Hairlock's death was one of the warm and fuzzy moments for me. I hated that little beast.

Was it ever explained why the Bridgeburners helped Hairlock in the first place? AFAIK, he was universally despised and his going mad, due to the soul shift, came as no surprise.

The BBs knew that someone in the empire was trying to kill them but they didn't rally know who. Hairlock was to be their backup, since most thought that he died at Pale no one would expect that he would be running around, thus he could find out about any plans to kill the BBs.

In a world gone mad, we will not spank the monkey, but the monkey will spank us.

they needed someone capable (and crazy enough) to travel through chaos and break into the shadow warren
