A race, no a revolution, they are. Monsters which can change the course of the world; to bring either order or chaos.

Mercenaries, freelancers are just polite identities for them, who bite at each other to reach the top.

Can you rely on them? Only when they covet a reward.

Can you trust them and befriend them? Only if you seek death.

Can you be them? Only if you wish to leave your humanity in the dirt.

For to be one, you must abandon responsibility, remorse, righteousness.

That is what it means, to be an avatar.
