But Bang might not know the really good bits - remember, she still thought he was kind of a sensitive dope and didn't seem to have a very high opinion of him, so obviously she didn't see him do anything particularly impressive. Of course, rescuing chorus girls from minor villains is not something I see her being very impressed by, but she's not dumb. The level of competence that we've seen him display is something he developed somewhere, and I don't think that would have escaped her notice unless he wanted it to.

He really was a busy boy - adventures, shopping for Spark artifacts, music composition, hiding things from Bang, Tarvek, Wooster, and who knows what other spies Klaus had in place, all on top of school.

Ok, now I'm really wondering what Othar knows about Gil. Or thinks he knows, at least.
