Well... not exactly. You're all Byronic heroes to a degree and either have too many clear and obvious failures and flaws, or simply lack any redeeming qualities other than your ability to get things done in the Great Maker's name. Maybe you were a bit too loose, wasting all your time on orgies, or just happened to lack any ethics while testing out new charms that allowed you convert Virtues into [REDACTED]. In essence, you've been assembled and are being sent out on what amounts to a suicide mission so they can get rid of you.
