The Third Person:

The simple version of the events is this: that our hero never fell into the trap of self-interest. Everything that he ever did he did because it was required of him. He did everything in his power to ferret out the wisdom of his teachers, only to be penalized by a “society” that proved itself fallen when it became aware of the power he’d unlocked. Eager to share this power with his fellow beings, that he might liberate them from their encultured chains, and so that they might be spared his fate, he sought repeatedly the fellowship of some non-human parasites who had once claimed to share his ambitions, only to be lied to time and time again when he was told they did not owe him anything. Yet their debt was the same as his, for it was a debt to the World. If they did not serve him, they leeched off of him, for any potential gone to waste is an affront to God and Man and a disadvantage to all of Humanity. He bore with them for a very long time, and yet they only reciprocated his kindnesses when he showed promise of success; his success was never THEIR ambition, and so he had allowed himself to be used by parasites and cowards who would allow their own weaknesses to become his failure. This never was an option to him; his entire life required vindication, as much as Humanity required Salvation. And he had forgiven Humanity time and time again for making it so difficult. But a parasite he could not forgive. He had done it a favour by reaching out to it; he had served Humanity by offering the evil ghouls that haunted Society a diversion from their debauchery. And at no point did his conscience fail to call upon the accumulated wisdom of the Ancients. Even now the ghosts of his fellow martyrs, fallen from this fallen World, haunt him, only to ultimately remind him that he had been neither foolish nor cowardly. And God will reward him with the one thing that he truly craves: retribution against those beings that hurt his Human Family.
