Tapestry of Tears, Part 1

The time has come, I think, to talk a little about Lahnius.

Lahnius was a permit-holder and an Agent-aspirant. But it was not always thus.

Originally, Lahnius was an Anti-Ganker. Through his encounters with Agent Alt 00, Lahnius managed to turn his life around. He renounced the anti-Code rebels and purchased several permits.

But whenever a former rebel attempts to join our ranks, an uncomfortable question hangs in the air: Does he want to join the winning team simply because the other players on the losing team can't tolerate him anymore?

Lahnius praised the Agent who had helped him see the light. As they were both residents of the Hek/Nakugard area, they came into contact often.

Alt 00 wanted the best for Lahnius... But she never forgot where he came from.

Over time, Lahnius kept up a mostly one-sided correspondence with Alt 00.

And, of course, there were the periodic apology EVEmails.

Lahnius couldn't hide the fact that there was a conflict raging within his soul. He made music videos to express this inner turmoil. There was always the possibility that the dark side of Lahnius' personality--the one that had drawn him to the Anti-Gankers in the first place--might reassert itself.

Eventually, Lahnius sought refuge among his newly minted alts. One of these, Vaughn Law, applied to join the mighty CODE. alliance. He hoped to feed his better nature by ganking Ventures.

Meanwhile, Lahnius informed Alt 00 that he was setting up refineries in Nakugard. As a sign of trust, he shared the location of these facilities. But with Lahnius, anything was possible.

...Just four hours later, the rebel-turned-Agent underwent another startling reversal.

Because, you see, it was always Lahnius' destiny to be a Goofus.

To be continued...
