      I disagree here.  There is consistency, although it's subtle.  Ingrid 
      was an *immediate* threat to the lives of dozens of mortals, and stated 
      her plan to continue her campaign of assassination.  The 'proof' that 
      Kristin had killed Louise 300-odd years before was circumstantial, she 
      *hadn't* succeeded in killing what's-her-name and wasn't an immediate 
      threat to anyone.  Recall that, at Richie's behest, he also spared the 
      punk-rocker-gal who had killed mortals in the past, but not anyone in 
      the present.  Annie Devlin also hadn't succeeded in killing anyone in 
      the present and wasn't an immediate threat to any mortal.
      
      There's not One Simple Rule, but as a general proposition, he will try 
      to avoid killing an Immortal (especially a female Immortal - I think 
      they are not that common) he has a relationship with unless they present 
      an immediate threat to mortals.
