The NIC module book says this about monsters but what about normal
NPCs?

Several turns ago (in NIC) I conquered a location and captured the owner.
Since he was a decent warrior and unowned by any other player, I decided
to assign him to a slot in my legion and release him to join me in further
conquests.  I received an event notifying me of his release and that he
didn't have any idea who his captors were.  I assume this is the mechanism
where he may have attacked me or fled based on some unknown percentages.
In my case, though, he's happily receiving wounds while supporting my cause
but I'm wondering if he's with me permanently or if there is a chance that
he will leave at production.

Anybody got any insight?
