Alagast...*ahem* Trazuin remarked that Kalmar did nothing to stop Gaius from leaving (He has a purpose in mind). Lyn hate Guided, and Gaius hasn't shown much kindness by tearing the Guided apart. While Gaius is Kalmar's Perfect Blade, the PS seems to be Tetzel's answer to the blade. The PS kills rebels (Sacrifa and his men were attacked), it kills morally wrong people (Bandits, sluts, Shadow Lords). His whole thing with protecting Rhue may either make Rhue Tetzel's unwilling PS (Or even willing, but on a subconsious level), and Tetzel has a higher purpose with leading Rhue to him.
The Phantom Slasher doesn't kill ONLY rebels and people with moral shortcomings. According to that person in Lide (the only mention of it that's ever really been made), the Phantom Slasher often spares young children, and that's it. While on the subject of Gaius, the Guided and the Blood Lyn, this is a link to a theory of mine on that subject, amongst other things:
http://www.crestfallen.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=848. Just thought I'd link to it here, since it's relevant.
Also, it's kind of a minor thing, but... I know that 'sluts' is in reference to Cherla, the Arastotzi who had two entire scenes in Episode IV, one right after another, but why have I always heard her mentioned in that way? I mean, yeah, she came onto Rhue at The Scene after listing his accomplishments with the Blue Scarves and on the Jopaga mission, but she seemed more like she was just a combat groupie. After she left The Scene, some Shadow Lords were about to rape/kill her, then the Phantom Slasher showed up. So, where does the slut thing come from? I just don't see it.
