Gongoro breaks the link. He has never been a man to waste two words when none will suffice. He cultivates martial valor by means of the deliberate attitude that he is inferior to no one and thus can never be defeated in combat. A worthy concept in a warrior. Fanaticism in all its forms may be extremely valuable. But Gongoro goes too far. He is like the man in the ancient parable, forever swinging a naked blade. Such men earn few allies. They may influence others by the fear they inspire, but not by respect.
