Ooh yeah, that's true. I'd forgotten Cecilia. But definitely, when I think of Narshen, I think vanity, cowardice, self-aggrandizement, pathetic attitude. I feel like Valter's treated like a much more serious threat, and a lot of that comes from the sketchy dialogue.
Wouldn't want to have coffee with either of them, though :P
As for nuances, I think it's kind of a cyclical thing? I mean, I definitely know 6 and 8 much more quickly than the others, because I've picked over them for fic/meta, but I also kind of feel like (not that you were insinuating it but others have) it can be offputting to say people just see more to like because they've looked at it longer - there has to be something there to make you like it in the first place, after all, right? And while fandom is at least 20% reading into stuff, sometimes people get snarky like "it's only good if you make stuff up", and I feel like that can be unfair. There's "give this support a look" or "check out this line of script", and then there's "read this meta and that one and then read this fanfic and this obscure bit of interview", you know? Again not saying you were saying that, just something kind of related.
