"Yeah," Ashley says, with a frown on her face shortly before ordering another glass of wine.

Sharon shakes her head. "Um, no. It's just a remarkably similar legend," she explains.
"Ah. A Nexus native, perhaps?" Percival smiles at Sharon, meeting her gaze. "I'm surprised you aren't a bunch of lunatics."

Most everyone in that battle is dead, or they were injured or MIA. The empire 'won,' but its armies were massively weakened, and its resources were beginning to dwindle after the gigantic battle, and the capital city was partially destroyed. I was a crippled war veteran, put upon copious amounts of painkilling drugs and put through experimental procedures - I'd lost pieces of all my limbs, and I'd been shot a few times, only to be dragged off the battlefield. I was living off a pension and imperial military benefits due to my rank and prestige at the time, but since their resources were deplete and forces were destroyed, people lost respect for them. I was seen as a monster for fighting and dedicating my life for the Empire, and it eventually fell due to civil unrest in the common people, allowing the communist leader to gain power." he sighs, breathing, drinking.
The Warforged would wince if he was physically able to. He knows what it is like to be viewed as a monster. Of course, being a machine designed for war, that was sort of expected from some people. Humans seem to have a much tougher time coping with that. "Surely not everyone saw you as a monster? You seem to be a very nice man." It's funny, really; people seem to judge and stereotype people based off of the color of a uniform.
