Bio
        These days everybody thinks highly of that idiot, Icarus. No one thinks about the full story. You don't think about it either? It's fine; I'm not surprised. I'll tell you what I think: that idiot was someone who was consumed by one of the oldest dreams of man -- the desire to fly. He didn't go at it alone, oh no. Trapped in a labyrinth, convinced to follow an escape route paved by his father, Daedalus, that idiot had a pair of wings made for him out of wax and feathers. Once he had them strapped to his back, he followed his father's footsteps and escaped his prison by flight. It started out fine -- he was thrilled. Caught in the exhilaration of reaching heights no human had ever grasped, he neglected the warnings his father had given to him: fly too close to the sun and your wings will burn; fly too close to the sea and your wings will become moist and fall apart.

        He was too careless. That idiot flew so high he nearly touched the sun.

        Nearly. He didn't touch it, but the height he reached was enough to scald him. His wings began to melt. He was flying high over the sea when they burned away; he probably looked like a feather pillow ripped apart at the seams. Icarus plunged into the water from an incredible height. If the impact didn't kill him, drowning did.

        Most idiots who hear about this story think there's something tragic and heroic or even romantic about his blatant idiocy, but I know better.

        I survived my plunge and incinerated my right arm and left leg, and this time I'm going to walk instead of fly. I'll accomplish my goal at any cost and I won't accept any help from that bastard who doesn't deserve to call himself my father.
