as I said months ago, Gaunt has pretty much been filed under the "failed experiment" category. I was trying for a different notion, something that would allow for real creative notions, but people largely just kept trying to tack the same old cliches onto the character.
so yeah. Gaunt is retired.
as far as "what Gaunt said" in the post: take it however you like. Paragon is extremely resourceful. but he's not foolproof. and though it's hinted that Gaunt spoke with him, nowhere did Paragon actually appear or make any statements.
