Ah, this is the main plot-critical segment that Origin was forced into
deleting.  Get the FAQ for info, basically, Ralgha nar Hallas never
existed (either that, we was killed, and "Hobbes" took his place).
Hobbes was brainwashed into actually thinking we was Hallas, and he
joined the humans per the plan.  When Thrakkath spoke the words "Heart
of the Tiger" after Ariel, that was the trigger, a 'post-hypnotic'
thing, to release him, and he apparently followed his orders to the
letter.
