Glad to hear it.

Well, that was certainly a popular theory when Kaiser's contract was first introduced, but I'm not sure that's the case. Wouldn't you think that if an act of killing Zahard merely killed the attacker, it would be called something other than "immortality"? I for one think that such contract would be called "absolute protection contract" or some such. And if he cannot be harmed in addition to being immortal, I would call it "invulnerability contract".

As for the gaps in the coverage of the contract, it's entirely possible that Zahard can be killed on 43F, though it depends on how contracts really work; we know very little about the mechanics. That said, I suspect the contract would apply on every operational Floor (i.e., Floor with a Guardian), so 134F probably also supports his immortality.

I agree with the Tolkien Elvish immortality (plus agelessness, minus reincarnation ^^) for the 10 Heads--except Hendo. Since these individuals are extremely powerful to begin with, and most people of the Tower are afraid of them implicitly, they can handle themselves in vast majority of situations rendering the concern moot in all of those cases.
