Yes, he was ignorant. But this flight wasn't only full of Azeroth people, it also had others from different worlds, with different experiences and different values. That was a good thing. It meant they all had perspectives that could shed some light on an otherwise sticky situation.
They are tools of destruction.
His mouth set into a line. He wasn't one to air out his laundry so publicly, but something had to be said.
Not people.
"Not people?" His hands bunched up at his sides. "I-- I'm sorry. No one gets to decide what makes a person, Vastania. No one but themselves. If they can question it... if they can question what their worth is, then they can-- they should be called a person."
His jaw set. "On my world, replicas were created to throw the world into chaos, to kill or be killed. They had no choice. That includes me! I was born only so I could destroy. By your definition, I'm not a person, either." He paused. "I've dealt with that on my world, and this place is different. Everyone accepts that as a member of the flight, you're a person. That's why I can say this now: someone's worth shouldn't be judged by anyone else."
