It's been a few years since I read Never Trust an Elf, but I think I remember Neko just being a really skilled mundane. He certainly fits the adept type, mind you, but I don't recall them ever actually making the connection in the novel.
There was an adept named Neko who posted to SOTA 64, talking about the Invisible Way. His writing still didn't remind me of Charrette's character, necessarily, and he was a Nightingale burglar. No real link between the two but the name. "Neko" is just Japanese for "cat," though, so I imagine it's the sort of street name that's pretty common (like "Ronin," or something). |

"What's your handle?" "You can call me... 'WizWyrm'." "Oh $Deity, not another one." "What?" "You're the FIFTH magician we've had in the group named that!" "Really?" "Yes. It's just as bad as trolls named 'Tiny' and humans named 'Breeder'." "Actually... We just call them Breeder, we don't bother to learn their names." "Oh, right."
