Kaz Brekker is such a wildcard of a human being. This teenager is one of the most notorious criminals of the Barrel, but is also the most fair person you could make an agreement with. Don’t get me wrong, he is merciless and really will only do what benefits him, but those traits are what make him trustworthy.
I haven’t read Crooked Kingdoms yet, so everything is based off of SoC, but we get to see MULTIPLE times how he doesn’t go around sharing secrets. He knows almost everything about Nina’s backstory with Matthias, but never said a word about it. Later, Wylan tells him he can’t read and Kaz again keeps the secret until the moment it needs to be revealed, and even then I believe it was Wylan’s father that revealed he couldn’t read, not Kaz. He really is someone that can be trusted not because he is a good person who will protect you, but because the value of the information stays higher if it doesn’t get spread around.
Then there are the deals he makes. He never makes a bad deal that the other person cannot pay off. Almost all the crows talked about that at least once. He makes it possible to get out so long as they are smart about their money. He does not want to do to someone else what was done to him. Unless it’s Pekka Rollins, which is fair.
I really love how Pekka Rollins managed to make a very fair, business minded criminal simply by not being fair himself. He made a terrible person in the process, but a trustworthy one and the juxtaposition is really cool to me.
Also, it kills me that the reason he is so good with magic tricks has absolutely NOTHING to do with being a criminal mastermind. He just liked the funky little tricks.
