Take up the fact that he carries a Souvenir of Reprisal. Then, take this information from it's article on this wiki.

''The knights called the Blades of the Darkmoon punish the guilt-soaked offenders of the Gods and take this as proof of their conquest. The earless corpses of the guilty will be left behind as a warning to others, inspiring both fear and respect for the Gods. Such is the eternal mandate of the Dark Sun.''

From this, it seems possible that Lautrec has connections or is in the Blades of the Darkmoon covenant. Anastacia may have been guilty, which regarded her death. Whereas some (96.245.42.8) says that she may have spoken blasphemy or herecy about a god. Whilst she appears to have no tongue or became mute, it may explain that. But, the sin is not contained, yet.

This was truly a longshot, but collides with a lot of good information.
