Another thought on the "but guard him anyway" is that Parson may really be a hippiemancer. However, the "ruthlessness" bestowed upon him by the sword et.al. may overcome his natural inclinations and so he's now a danger to others (and himself) so needs to be watched until they can unwind that. We never saw him kill directly until he had the whole ruthlessness thing, right?

EDIT: Parson's klog seems to back this up- he doesn't quite understand why he doesn't feel horrible. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0129.html
