-> ''"To elude capture by Empress Mileena, I joined [[BombThrowingAnarchist Havik's]] crusade in Seido. There I summoned more magic than I thought possible and [[PersonOfMassDestruction drowned out the old regime]]. Havik's longed-for anarchy had been achieved. He was more than satisfied. But I was left empty and broken. Had I been satisfied as Outworld's High Mage, not let myself be tempted by Shang Tsung, a great city would now not lay in ruins. I've caused devastation, ended thousands of lives. [[AmbitionIsEvil All because of my blind ambition]]. I've betrayed my oath, my sovereign, and my realm. [[TheAtoner These high crimes merit punishment, and I'll accept whatever the Empress gives me.]] My only ambition now is to one day be forgiven."''

->[[MeaningfulEcho "You will never run away from your sin!"]]\\\
Sir Stefan had told him all of three years ago. Even now his words rang true. That night he was with Isabella - whatever became of her, he wondered - [[HiddenDepths he had opened himself up to another person in a way that he had never done in his entire life.]] In being so vulnerable, his memories came flooding back into his mind unbidden: [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds all the evils he had committed in the name of vengeance, of resurrecting his father.]]\\\
[[HeelRealization No one else's fault but his own.]]\\\
Like a fool, [[NeverMyFault he had blamed the whole world for his sin]], for why he 'had' to do the things he had done. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse But in the end, it was his choice.]] He could have killed Thunder instead of Frederick, walked away when he had Sir Stefan in his sights, rode off when Herr Durer told him to stop. Every single one of those times he could have made the right choice...and he didn't. [[KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil He cut off his father's head]], [[TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil ran the noble Sir Stefan through the back like a coward,]] [[TheFarmerAndTheViper and killed the sons of the man who had been, to him, like a second father]]...and killed all those people just to satisfy the endless lust of [[ArtifactOfDoom Soul Edge]]: no, [[ItsAllAboutMe of himself.]] The Inferno told him that he was the wickedness in every heart of man, and that wickedness he let go every time he killed.\\\

->Before beginning this latest chapter, I reread my journals. The first entry I wrote after the war is in a childlike scrawl and reads simply "what have I done?" What have I done? That is the question I must answer. I have loosed the Tygers upon the world. I have swept away the old order. I have cast down the towers of the cities of men... and laid the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem.

->"What an old hag," said the soldier to himself. "It was time for her to die a many years ago."\\
"Yes," says the old crone, with her toothless gums numbling and grumbling over her words. "Long ago it was time for me to die. When you shut up Death in the sack I had only an hour left to live. I had done with the world, and the world had done with me, and I would have been glad to be at peace. Long ago my place in heaven was made ready, and it is empty to this day for I cannot die. You, soldier, have sinned before God and before man. You have sinned a sin that God will not forgive. I am not the only soul in the world who is tortured as I am. Mine is not the only place that is growing dusty in heaven. Hundreds and thousands of us who should have died drag on in misery about the world. And but for you we should now be resting in peace."\\
The soldier began to think. And he thought of all the other old men and women he had kept from the rest that God had made ready for them. "There is no doubt about it," thinks he; "I had better let Death loose again. No matter if I am the first of whom she makes an end. I have sinned many sins, not counting this one. Better go to the other world now and bear my punishment while I am strong, for when I am very old it will come worse to me to be tortured."

Even looking like you're doing the right thing to those two meant that he wasn't solid, that he couldn't be trusted. I got Matty to take the money and they killed him two days later. He was the strongest person that I ever knew. He'd have never done it, not even to save himself. I was the only one... I was the only one who could get him to debase himself like that, and it was for nothing. I made him lesser. I made him like me, and the bastards killed him anyway."''
