 Later research, specifically by [[Mlan]], reveals that Forod forced Kōtele's marriage to [[Naamon Pyr]] and that she had been abused at the hands of her husband. Mlan argues that had Kōtele the amount of control that Porteek assigns to her, this would've been an unlikely turn of events.
-However, Mlan also generally agrees that Kōtele frequently acted in what she understood to be the interests of Forod, and that first murders caught Forod by surprise. But both Porteek and Mlan agree that Forod quickly adapted to his accomplice's methods and learned how to direct Kōtele. In fact, it is possible that the dynamics of their relationship were not static and that her forced marriage was the result of Forod reclaiming some level of control over his unruly aide.
