I don’t think that Taln is a traitor but I do think that one of the Harolds was a traitor since the beginning. This is because of the quote that Frustration quoted earlier. This is because Taln talks about how, “The burdens of nine become mine.” But there were ten Harolds, if they were all really with Honor then Odium would have tortured all ten and Taln would be experiencing the burden of ten Harolds. But then the question becomes how would Taln have known he was having the burden of nine in this quote. Because as of Aharietiam if there is a traitorous Harold it doesn’t appear as if the other Harolds know. So it comes down to that either that Taln is saying that he has the nine burdens of the others atop his and I am finding meaning in nothing, or that during the last 4500 years he has learned that there was a traitor among them who wasn’t tortured and to not blow his cover didn’t give in right away after every desolation because then the other Harolds would kill that one emediatly and perpetually to try and stagnate the coming of the Fused. Then the reason he hasn’t shared this with Ash yet since coming back is because he has had only one moment of partial lucidity since they have met back up and chose to express his forgiveness of Ash and the others before he told her about the traitor but wasn’t able to share it before slipping back into craziness.
