[@FallenTrinity] Nayden, at the moment, isn't necessarily the type to go recruiting. He's biding his time, laying in the shadow of an influential figure in order to slither out and deliver that lethal bite in the future. Unless your alien is someone powerful, I can't see him going out his way to manipulate the guy. lol. Though he does have the cunning to do so if he sees your alien being useful in the future, just don't expect the relationship to be smooth. The guy is kinda shaky. He can only hold the facade of caring for so long.
