Final decisions must wait until I'm re-acquainted with the show - although I sometimes think that this long gap between my last viewing and the current project might be providing some useful distance - but I had a ding! moment1 on the train in to work this morning.
Of course someone like Avon could be convinced into organizing/participating in a conference of important rebels (as per the story Warlord). How else can a guy ensure that he has a nice little niche carved out for himself after the revolution comes?
Or, if one wishes to be completely mean about it - and god only knows, Avon's motives are sometimes probably unknowable to everyone, including himself - it's possible that he was gathering information to later peddle to the Feds, should the opportunity arise. But blackmail's a bit, y'know, declassé for a guy like him. Contraiwise, he's always keen on big piles o'filthy lucre. Hm. Hmm...
Believe it or not, I like unclear motives. It gives me lots of wriggle room. I'll just pick whatever suits my needs best, natch.
1 - or duh!, depending on how charitiable you are.
