Does Daylen believe the ends justify the means?
Not usually. It is possible to put him in a situation where he will make choices he wouldn't under normal circumstances, but even in the course of war, he'll put his foot down. And then there's the pirates... coughs But, they're preying on supply ships for the sides trying to burn down the world and ships of profiteers seeking to extract value from war-torn areas with no mind to how it will affect the people living there. He doesn't see the means as requiring justification, there.

Depends. He's functionally Rivaini, so he's not that into blankets, at home, because it doesn't get that cold on the coast, even in winter. Take him into Ferelden, though, and it's a good thing there are so many bears, because he's going to wear like six of them, and every part of his body has to be covered from at least three directions, so he can't get cold from rolling over.
