I remember people bringing up Essek's apathy towards Adeen as a reason he shouldn't be redeemed, and I'm like... bro wasn't even in his redemption arc at that point. That was during the time he was outright saying, "I don't regret my actions, I only regret how they hurt you." When we see him in A Walk to Warmer Welcomes, his tune has changed to, "My actions were fucked up, and I'll do whatever I can to right them." I feel certain his feelings on Adeen have changed since High Seas, High Stakes.
