A wise man once said that heroes can’t be painted in black or white, they come to us in shades of grey. For the choices they make are hard ones, and the actions they take leave consequences that can’t be undone.

But wise men are prone to speak in riddles, and true words should be plain to understand. Hear these instead.

There are no such things as heroes. After all, for every man we call a hero, is he not cursed as our enemies’ greatest villain?

So don your mask, young master. Don’t be afraid to bend the laws of shadow and light. And leave it to history to brand you as it deems fit.

– Last words of Grimshaw the Black

(as quoted in Tam’s Tome of Drowning

Mouth Fibs, Volume II)
