<grin> and what would he have termed his greatest weakness (if you could get him to admit he had any, that is)? IMO, "other people."
<Nevetheless he took risks in achieving his aims. A rumour of Blake was just too good a carrot to let slip without investigating. Again on Gauda Prime, it's a lot of trouble to trace a line through the pattern of infinity - 'cept if you have Orac.>
What I find interesting is that he lost Cally and the Liberator - and nearly lost everything including his own mind - from that fiasco on Terminal, but he clearly didn't regret doing it. Since as soon as he comes to the conclusion that Servalan was lying ... he starts looking again (no, I don't believe that Avon was mad in S4, but I do think for the first, seriously-shut-down part he may have been at risk ...)
<Dayna: "don't you get tired of always being right Avon?" Avon: "Just with the rest of you being wrong.">
<gurgle> I adore these lines, coming as they do after Terminal - gotta give the man full points for sheer unadulerated gall, haven't you? But what on earth is wrong with Dayna's short-term memory?????
