I don't want to be anybody's monster... but I also know that I can't be like ordinary folk, either. If Ravidel is still alive -- and if something even more powerful is controlling him -- then they must be stopped. Kristina, teach me to be a real mage. I want to use magic -- the right way. Teach me to become a planeswalker.

Quotes[]
You've surrounded me with my childhood toys, spirit! Fire has always been my most faithful companion! Destruction... chaos... fire and shadows... these are all I've ever known.
- -- Jared of Ephren
- Good ol' Ezer taught me all I need to know about magic... it blasts lands, and kills fathers, it's hard to control, and it sets animals to slaughter one another! Can you tell me any different?
- -- Jared of Ephren
- I've lived a very long time, and so little seems to change. Having a villain to hate is much more exciting than finishing a hard day's work, I guess... or loving a child.
