Speculation
Session 2 assessment: the Restorationists “could be the most likely to be behind Awad’s death.” Destabilizing the Sultanate serves restoration. Note the awkward personal angle: Gnaeus’s maternal family belongs to this faction, and his ring — an Aurunculeia heirloom? — is already entangled with the Phoenix affair.
