Pawn of the Villain

“	I was a fool. I had been deceived that I had been working for a greater good. I was in fact an unknowing tool of a greater evil.	„
	~ Shujinko regretting how he was manipulated by Onaga.

“	Moebius: "For a true servant of the one God, death is never bitter. I will go - again at peace with the knowledge that I have played my small part in our master's plans. Kain is at last destroyed, and you have carried out the deed. Which hero do you think you are now? The vampire savior? Or the other one? Have you realized yet that it didn't matter to us which one either of you thought you were, so long as the result was the same in the end? And now, Kain is dead. Really, I cannot thank you enough." Raziel: "So this has all been arranged, every step of the way. And Kain thought I truly had free will." Moebius: "Oh, but you do. And there's the greatest triumph of all, to have compelled the one player who could choose into doing exactly what we required. Well done, faithful servant. And now - I have an execution to see to."	„
	~ Raziel being irritated by the fact that he was manipulated at every turn, including by Moebius
