 ==The Consul==
+How small a man must be to seek greatness in the shadow of others. How pitiful the man who raises up a great soul and cowers behind it.
+I will not dignify this leech with a name. Think of him as a roach, a roach who scurried out from the ruin of the old Praetorate. He'd grown fat on the scraps they fed him, the wealth and influence and favor. And when I took his scraps away to enrich my throne and inspire my people, he wanted them back.
+Like any roach, this [[The Consul|Consul]] has a low cunning. He found the perfect vessel to carry his poison: a lonely, crippled orphan child. Into that child he poured his jealousy, his cruelty, and his desire to see the great brought low.
+Imagine his venomous whispers - ''look at how happy they are! Look at how they revel and thrive! While we crack our hides in the filth, and pine for days of fear and gunfire...''
+Had the child only escaped him, had little Ghaul only crawled off the heap where he was found, so much might have been saved.
+How terrible the man who sees an orphan as a hollow weapon, and who loads that orphan with the munitions of his revenge. How pathetic the man who wishes only to be a fat parasite again.
+The vile Consul must die.
+I sentence him to death by his own weapons.
