I have lived a very long time, and have committed many atrocities too great to number. I have killed tens upon thousands of your kind. Without regret, or remorse. For sport in greater occasion than for hunger. It took me a very long time to realize the error of my ways, and in realizing it, the necessity of atonement for actions taken in ignorance and in error.

I helped to oversee the formal introduction of my kind to humanity. I made amends and peace with those among their number worthy of it. And then I chose to cease living. I have seen and done enough.
