I was one of Holm's first residents, and when it became empty, I was the one who brought it back to life. I am the one who took the shell and gave it a future. I do not remember seeing you when we fought off the pirates.
I was absent for a time, yes, but what is corrupt about hunting assassins? And yes, I did attempt to kill Barias. Why? Because Emberhard, and the majority of the city, believed he was corrupted by Majora. I have proof that he claimed this.
The Ravens used me, as soon as things got bad, they cast me out of their city. I was wrong to hurt Barias, but Emberhard was wrong to betray my trust in him.
I am the one who saved Holm, not you. The Nation needs a strong, stead, and most of all, familiar hand to guide it. Bringing a new leader from outside, especially one that is an enemy to the majority, would only bring about the fall of Holm.
Hiebe has mentioned my occaisional use of Violence, and I admit that I am more veangeful than many. But, I keep such things to myself and work them out myself. When I am after somebody, I do not endanger holm by bringing her into my conflicts, I solve them myself.
As my how I can help Holm, in a list, simply look at my plans for the city's renovation. Compare what I'VE done with the city to what Syrila has done.
