Jack of Harts

The arrival of the Peloran spurred me to action. Though I have always been cautious and careful. So I spent a century preparing myself for what I had to do. Some might consider a century too long to wait. But I knew I could live forever if I successfully avoided being killed. I had no wish to give up immorality. I wanted to live to see my plans take effect you understand, and my family is not known for patience and understanding in matters of betrayal. Then the Shang attacked and destroyed too many of my plans. I had to…revise them.
