"I do not know, Martin. Perhaps vampires killed his family. I was also hellbent on killing us once, so I can understand it. Perhaps for Stein, his drive is power, or peace and an end to the eternal war... but it would all be an effort to promote his studies. Nonetheless, there is something about our father. I fear losing him would begin a great undoing of our species. We know now what we are up against, for the most part. We need to prepare ourselves for the upcoming battle. Magnus, I'm going to try to find Gabriel and get him to tell me what would make him stop running."
