He was learning to teach at the same speed that you learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the galaxy. But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear, fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a common lesson among all people as they age.

He's part of the first Imperial generation of children (human, at least, some species probably grow fast?) this first generation reflects the good and the bad that the empire could be. There are aspects of good AND bad in Syril. For example, his rigid adherence to truth, justice, and all the other things he holds dear are POTENTIAL good things that the Empire could have instilled within it's culture. Unfortunately, this spirit is lost when he suffers a head injury and dies as part of the Ghorman massacre. Dedra Meero has some good qualities as well, such as her unflinching resolve and unwavering dedication to pursuing her charge. She's a hunter. Cats aren't evil just because they are ambush predators, and neither is she. However, she IS evil because of all the evil things she does. Her character isn't evil, her actions are. She too is spiritually lost as a sacrifice to the Empire. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┘ --- #11 fediverse/1893 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-1056 heh probably, though for this specific instance my Ollama server wasn't running and I had already killed my Stable Diffusion server after utterly failing to produce anything useful... alas, a girl can dream of having a robot familiar, but not today I guess.
