"I knew from an early age I was, to put in light terms, different. My siblings saw it too- not clearly mind you! What they saw of me, the weak and pitiful welp of the family. A black sheep, the runt of the pack. ..And perhaps they were not wrong then. I hold this heavy burden close to my heart; Born disgustingly malformed, my wings were never meant to take flight. I am, dear gods, I am unchanging in that regard."

"...In spite of it all. In spite all of those wretched gods that watch over me, and my blessed siblings that despise me, I Persist! I ask not for your pity, I will not take it. Instead, I promise this; you will learn to fear the name Lord Buckingham the Twenty-First. And henceforth, you will rue the day you had once underestimated me!"
