Karim: My father believed feelings and emotions were beneath a true ruler. When I was a child, to drive them from my heart, he would take me to witness executions.

In time I felt nothing. My father had succeeded in turning death into a subject of objective study.
Karim: And now I am the Shah, ruler of all we see. The king of feeling nothing.
