He was my commander for the majority of the first war. As a commander myself, now, I understand how important the position is. My life and my well being was in his hands - and his reputation gave the impression that he could be trusted completely. So that's exactly what I did. I trusted him with everything, and desperately wanted to make him proud.
But I learned later that I — that everyone around him — were just expendable pawns in his game of chess where rather than winning or losing, he wanted to wipe the entire board clean.
[ Yzak furrows his brow as he recollects. ] There were so many times where I just barely skirted death, barely made it out of a situation. That was probably more thanks to my teammates, or my own luck than anything else. I wonder now, how many of those times he could see how dangerous the situation was but simply chose to watch it unfold. He could always get a new team, after all, to get him where he wanted to be.
