I bet! I've never tried an amnesiac character, but I've written characters with other mental conditions before, and it's a lot of fun ^^ Although I'm also a psychology nerd, so I love exploring the depths of the brain in all its altered states, haha.

I like that idea! If he and the other rebels had blueprints of the palace then it would make a lot of sense for Ethan to try that.

I was also thinking that the kidnapping could come later (not too long, but a few days at least). It could leave some room to see what happens with Cas and Iris when she's got plans to turn on him. Also, if she harbors Ethan in her room, that would also be pretty interesting too!

As for the prisoners, they would definitely get left behind ^^; I was thinking that after the interrogators get through with them, Cas and/or Atlas would publicly announce their execution, which could also cause some tension between him and Iris, since those are her people.
