villains aren’t born, they are made.

Yep. No one wakes up wanting to do bad things, their experiences makes or breaks them.

In short, he's literally the embodiment of impotent rage.

He knows what he's doing is, from an outsiders perspective, morally wrong, yet he will persist.

Because it's all he has.

“The only option I had was to die or overcome its power I chose the latter” scene makes my spine tingle every time.

The nightmares? They never go away, Snake. Once you've been on the battlefield, tasted the exhilaration, the tension... it all becomes part of you. Once you've awakened the warrior within... it never sleeps again. You crave ever bigger tensions, ever bigger thrills. As a mercenary, I'd think you would have realized that by now. You care nothing for power, or money, or even sex. The only thing that satisfies your cravings is war! All I've done is give you a place for it. I've given you a reason to live.

Makes sense to me. If you're not doing a job you love, why do it; and if you're good at it, never do it for free.

"Newsflash arseholes, we were in a war and the truth is that nobody wins in a war

"Deserve's got nothing to do with it, it's a job. Anyone who found himself at the end of my gun he was fighting for something - bring down a gouverment or prop one up, for homeland or someone elses, for family, for a woman.. maybe just food and drink. So many damn reasons, some good, some bad. A mercenary doesn't ask questions boy, it's enough to know the other man is dying for something, but that reason of his, whatever it was, was it really worth fighting for? Maybe. But who says you need some epic cause before you can shed some blood? Fighting for filthy lucre has always been good enough for me, pays the bills. Toss us a bit of coin and we will risk life and limb. They dangle their spare change in front of our nose and we come running, we march onto chessboards all over the world for mere pennies. Kill for em, DIE for em. But really, it ain't about the damn pennies. We go because we enjoy it. We fight for money caus fighting for fun is just too horrible to admit. Die for a dollar, kill for some kruna.. sign us up! We're scum of the earth, boy. With a legacy like ours, course they're going to pick on you at school. You cry but I bet you'll come arround one of these days. You know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Unknown to death

Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet these hands shall never hold anything
So, as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works"

No, first of all, I didn't even know what I wanted to save!"
