Not to be rude but... last I knew you were absolutely insane. Vengeful and full of rage, it's a little disconcerting sometimes how earnest you are now. But I also know now that you went from Adagium to some strange corrupt puppet of the Empire. I have seen precisely what depths of depravity go on in imperial factories, it's no wonder you went mad.

Besithia, for example, may not have the sheer level of insanity he will in a few years yet but the basis for it is there. The man is a cold-hearted sociopath, even now. There's a linear progression of curiosity and ambition to madness and cruelty.
But with you...
There's no reason for it. There is nothing in you that makes any kind of sense with the man you become in my time. Except, of course, some interference or trauma from the Empire.
