I wouldn't get too worked up about seeming inconsistencies from the chronicles. I believe they are told more from a future historian's point of view rather than an eyewitness account. Told from a historian's viewpoint it reflects the nature of the events, and a certain perception of those events, rather than a perfect description. In this case, the flavor and generalities are what is important, not the accuracy of individual events. This also allows you to develop some level of freedom with your character (for instance in Kotor I you could be male or female, light or dark, it doesn't matter to the chronicles). Inconsistencies? Maybe, but fairly trivial when taken in this context.
