Sean has always played his cards close to vest, preferring to keep his own counsel most of the time. That's reverting to type, no disagreement there. Suspecting the motives of others defines the man.
My main point in defending the basic decency I sense in Renard is that he does follow his conscience much of the time. You don't feel that way. It's like having a fondness for someone who acts defensive most of the time because they don't have a foundation of trust of those around them. Some people would think they see a ne'er do well type headed for a cliff. But a person who sees their fundamental good within, never will stop hoping that events will bring out the best in them. I feel confident Sean will do the right thing - but probably not until he's staring into the abyss at the very end of the series. For me, the Captain's on the bridge and I'm going down with the ship unless he steers us away from the iceberg.
