I suspect that Selleque was generated when scimitars could be used by
lungers as well as plungers, and thus his favorite weapon is one that
was suited at the time.  Rather than change it to the longsword, or
some such weapon that's legal now, they just left it.

I chalk this kind of thing right up there with characters who are
less than SZ 9 who are well-suited to the heavy two-handed weapons.

I think that Thanatos mentioned something like this in one of his
posts.  I've never actually fought anyone like this, or if I did
I didn't notice.
