"Would it surprise you, if I did?" Torbjorn asked. "Mad as he may be, I guess that I pity him in a way. I have heard enough of his ramblings to be sure that he wasn't born this way, so that just makes me wonder what might've happened to him? What could a man possibly experience, witness or hear that would make him so unstable? Back during the war, I had companions who lost their minds due to the horrors they witnessed out in the fields and sieges. Yet when compared to Shanks', their psyches seems almost stabile. So what did Shanks experience that they didn't?"

He shrugged. "We still don't know where he came from, how old he is, from where he learned all his magic, or even his real name. He has only told us that he was taught by some witch named Elka, but there is no such person in Tamriel. At least alive that we are aware of."
