You have chosen Va the Monk   Va is a fanatic: he is driven, tormented, desperate. He tries to do good but fails. He tries not to do evil, and fails there too. But before writing him off as another religious lunatic, consider this: could you have done what he did? Could you have gained your heart's desire and then given it up because you knew it would destroy you both? Could you have turned your back on riches, fame, and power because of what you had done to get it? So who better than someone who once had the world at his mercy to save it from destruction?
