Karl Schäfer

"Power is precisely the problem. Some of the most fearsome rulers through history have possessed only a fragment of the Cintamani Stone. Men like Tamerlane, Genghis Khan... If a mere sliver could bestow such power, what would a man become if he possessed the Stone itself?"

- Schäfer explaining to Nathan Drake how dangerous a man could be become if he possessed power such as the Cintamani Stone
