Quite light spoilers below for Blake's 7 if anyone cares (light enough I'm not bothering to cut)...
So how might Anna and Avon have met, given as I've argued, that it doesn't make sense that they only met shortly before the embezzlement thing? I once had it in mind to write a fic where they met during college. I'm far from alone in positing they might have met through Del, who might have been a classmate of Avon's. If that's the case, they might have known each other for 10-15 years by the start of the series. That feels plausible to me.
But that being the case, why wouldn't Avon have figured out at least some of the twists and turns in her career/identity? Well, she's brilliant, and from what we see on the screen, I'd guess more brilliant at hiding identities than at seduction. (She kind of sucks at that.) I think it's also possible that Avon dismissed the possibility of her being that formidable. (He didn't cop to Cancer either.)
