If I understand it correctly (and Persolus was honest about his power, which is obviously a big if), targeting Lentrax would randomize Lentrax's target and anyone targeting Lentrax, so presumbly it wouldn't redirect Lentrax killing anyone.
And yeah, I feel like Lentrax being the last wolf is the most likely answer, I think yesterday would've been different if it had three wolves (and a wolf-friendly neutral). Of course, assuming the most likely answer is the truth hasn't always worked out great this game.
