While a legionary of Kharim never shows mercy to the enemy, it is possible
that someone would believe they might. The enemy who is surrounded and running
out of choices is desperate to cling on any lifeline that is offered
regardless of how improbably it might sound. On the other hand, the enemy who
realizes that the life is coming to an end always fights more fiercely than
anyone else. For the same reason, legionaries of Kharim sometimes mislead
their enemy into believing that their surrendering might ultimately save their
lives, before they choose to slay those who wallow in despair.
