"The Legionnaire's men looked up to him, for the shining example he set. He was a decorated soldier, had taken a pretty Crane for his wife, and his martial prowess was unlike any other. Still, each day, he trained and fought just as hard if not harder than the day before, and that is what impressed them most. When asked why, he only replied, 'To remain worthy.' Worthy of what, he never said." - The Unicorn's Heart, part IV
