Ordered Miko to arrest them outside of Azure City's jurisdiction. If Miko and Shojo can claim universal jurisdiction over Gate protection, so can Serini. If Serini can't, Miko and Shojo can't. Same boat.
Also, there was that whole "holding people in secret prison off the record with no trial". Kind of an afterthought but that's probably worth counting.When was Belkar redeemed?
They had a Paladin, so I'm kind of doubting that any of them were Evil.
