As I've made clear in other discussions here, I would play only exclusively as a true good hero "Tav" PC. I would be okay with recruiting and having in my camp companions who don't fit my PC's mold if they seem to be useful for the overall cause. But I would not cut them any slack. And any redemption arc for them would depend on what they'd done in the past, because for me, some actions/behaviors make people absolutely non-redeemable. For me, redemption is something that first must be *deserved*, and even then earned. It is not something I would simply give out to any and every one. So, given all of this, I don't yet know where Minthara falls here, whether she deserves redemption or not. I suspect not.
