And that\'s what is so confusing about it. What would a chaotic person have done in this sort of situation? I feel it has everything to do with lawful, neutral, and chaotic, especially when compared to Haley. She is a very clearcut case of Chaotic, and it is impossible to argue otherwise. If she was on the boat, with the exact same role as Elan, she would have killed him outright. Elan, however, was fully willing to take him in through legal means, clearly uncomfortable with lying to the paladin, and telling V that needing to lie to them is an idicator that he is doing the wrong thing.

While Haley (and apparently V) would say \\\"screw the laws\\\", Roy and Durkon (especially Durkon) would follow the law as much as possible, Elan would rather focus on the good, following the law if need be, breaking them when apropriate. That, according to this site, is the very definition of Neutral Good.

While he is still canonically Chaotic, which of course, trumps all, his actions, as I said, shows otherwise. It isn\\\'t the first time that a character on this site had a trope associated with them that went against canon (Superman is canonically Lawful, yet does plenty of neutral things, for example).
