Atlas Blakely was born as the earth was dying. This is a fact. So is this: the first thing Atlas Blakely truly understood was pain. This, too: Atlas Blakely is a man who created weapons. A man who kept secrets. And this: Atlas Blakely is a man willing to jeopardize the lives of everyone in his care, and to betray all those foolish or desperate enough to have the misfortune to trust him.
