The moral decline of mortals is largely what keeps him going, his disgust at their broken and sickly souls, constantly reminding him of their pathetic and tragic existence being unworthy of what Amaurot left behind.
Incapable of taking the torch--though, he feels that small gleamer of hope in his breast. Watching those like-minded souls fast at work with the Talos, how the Warrior of Light brought the Eulmorans to heel with kindness and compassion... It was as impressive as it was frustrating.]
My great-grandson? [He pauses, then mentally corrects that: Solus' great-grandson.] I knew of his return from death--for all you mortals are most familiar with it, you certainly never seem to know when it truly takes, do you?
[Of course he's more referring to Elidibus' puppetry, than Zenos himself. While he cannot recall feeling Zenos' soul entering the lifestream, he also cared little to keep track. A mistake in arrogance, most likely.]

Why--what of him?
