Liem did make efforts to avoid notice while he was performing his investigations and treacheries, but only using nonmagical methods. Near the beginning of the event, he acquired local Veneran clothing in order to blend in better with the populace, including a hat and sunglasses (for that Veneran summer sun!). Whenever possible, he carried activities out under cover of darkness. And of course he kept interactions with Pleroma to quiet, out-of-the-way locations whenever possible.

Notably, the fight that ended in his capture did take place at dusk.
