Death is temporary. The lessons you learn from it, though, are permanent. I am sorry it had to come to this, but I am your teacher. May your lessons serve you well in your next life.

Resources 1-Well he technically lives on disability pay. Yay for disability fraud.
Mentor 2-His mentor, Dimitri Sotiris, is trying to groom him to take a place in the Golden Chalice-perhaps he wishes to retire, or perhaps just believes that his student has the "right stuff". As a senior member of the Omega branch of the Chalice, Soltiris is a well-respected Euthanatoi.

Background

Background: Chris joined the military to see the world and be all he could be, trying to find his purpose in life. However, that ended up... not quite working out for him when he ended up being grievously wounded from a training accident. He drifted in a coma for months before he was awakened, with a strange, strange person standing near him, offering him a new life, a second chance, and a goal that he could believe in, rather than drifting aimlessly trying to find something to live for. They healed his body, slowly, for it was not his time to die yet. His Mentor believed that if he could make it in sleeper society, attempt to join the elite of the elite-even if his career prospects were cut short by hitting a tree at terminal velocity-he could take his mentor's place in the Golden Chalice.

Lessons Learned

• Be able to think on your feet-plans can easily be wiped out by fate and circumstance.
• Deception is a weapon to be wielded like any firearm or blade. It should be wielded carefully and responsibly-but it should still be wielded.
• I am the only guardian of my soul, I must ensure my soul is not stained by blood even if my hands are.
• In desperate situations, it does not matter who your allies were, only that they are standing beside you. We are all brothers and sisters in a dire enough situation.
• The bonds that are made between men should be cherished, even if they are temporary.
• Never be afraid to alter a plan in light of new information.
• Precision is difficult when the situation is unclear.
• Few understand your drive and the necessity of your coldness. Hide it behind another mask.
• The Euthanatos are right; Moral conviction is what breeds the ability to do great deeds. It's not all about magical power.
• Both Marauders and Orphans are dangerous-the former lack concern for collateral, and the latter lack fighting spirit.
• Your job is as much a shepherd to those needing defense as a weapon against those who would prey upon the weak.
• There are times when one's cover must be risked, and times when risking it is for naught. Differentiate between those times.
• Learn how to be a person again.
• Learn more about the enemy. You cannot always rely on others for intelligence.
• Proper planning can avert impossible situations.
• Don't attack just because you can.
• Don't let the Fallen catch you at a disadvantage.
• Killing is never to be done lightly, as necessary as it is sometimes.
• In a Construct, it is far better to rely on mundane skill than magickal power.
• You are expendable and it doesn't matter, the problems have to be fixed.
• The common man needs help and some people really need to die.
• Sacrifice is self-sacrifice, not the sacrifice of others.
• One cannot let one's own driving goal consume them, lest they become a monster.
• Don't fixate on one idea to solve a problem.
• Brook no personal weakness.
