I am now a bit confused on how to proceed with Maldron once IC starts. After all, his rather unique view on everything is a product of his memories, which are very few right now. I'm not sure how feasible it is for him to retain his philosophy.

As a side note, can the false memories gained distort current ones instead of being added to the "pool" of remaining memories? If so, Maldron will have quite a plot twist. For example, a guy who has memories of his childhood knows he has no brothers or sisters, but gains a false memory which distorts his current ones, and now he thinks he had a brother and a sister.
