See Peter's answer. That works for me.

Spiritually, not physically. His magic is an outgrowth of himself and his devotion to the Living Goddess manbi, not an exotic Lunar graft.

Only as the High Priest of Jar-Eel's Moonsword Cult. Kick-ass combat magic

In our freeform, we had him becoming the commander of Moonson's Imperial Bodyguard, but that's just us. (We liked the image of him being snubbed and looked down on as a lower-class arriviste by the aristocratic "proper officers" of the elite regiments. He didn't enjoy this ceremonial role *at all* -- he'd far rather have been in the field, fighting for the Empire he loves).
In our game, he had also opened a chain of Lunar restaurants (see our "Rough Guide to Glamour" for more on Beat-Pot's Moon Rock Cafe); remember that this is written in the happy-go-lucky spirit of Geo's, and Thunderbreath Gobbleguts, and Bob's Bison Burgers, and not at all the ascetic spirit of "No Inns in Sartar". Beat-Pot is famed as a temperamental master-chef who sometimes works in his own kitchens. Explore the freeform materials at www.etyries.com/moonson for more.

Sounds right to me. We had him as passionately jealous of Jar-Eel, so he'd be resentful and suspicious about being sent away from her, however good the cause. He might also offload his personal feelings to an old comrade from his slave days... good chance for a heart-to- heart with one of your PCs?

That's not what the rules say. Aelwrin should be 10w3-ish and Jar-Eel 10w4-ish in their best abilities. Any "inflation" you add on top of this is entirely your own decision.
