Corruption. Greed. Murder. Even the wisest man’s obsession can make him blind to his sins, but Kasparian’s obsession is all he has. He wants to protect others from feeling the torment he does every day – the pain of losing those dearest to him. However, the only way for him to accomplish this is to possess the power of the gods.
