: once there was a man
: without a conscience

: 3 guesses as to who...

The player? I'm not sure, I got a definate feeling of Durandal through this poem...

: who feared
: the dark and
: jumped at
: midday shadows

: and maybe he did
: good, and maybe not
: he certainly did wrong

This was were I was thinking of Durandal, more. Durandal brought the Ph'for to Tau Ceti so that he could escape the closure, but then he came back and gave humans the Warp rockety thing. And now he's helping humans, wether for his own game or not. But, as we see later, it may not be the best way for humanity... ; )

: but cast away
: old memories
: whether they go
: willingly or no
: and hope for the return
: of a childhood
: that may never
: have existed
: at all

: because innocence
: is bliss
: and now I understand

This bemuses me... But then, it's not clear wether Durandal himself is fully aware of his origins, as we... Yet again see later (Damnit, too many spoilers in one post. I'm not very good at this, am I? : ) ). Perhaps it's reffering to your own innocence regarding... Well, just about everybody's motives.
And now you understand. : )

(Sorry about that, it's just that there's nothing I like better than picking apart something unimportant and vague. Yes, I know my faults. : ) )
