"A family was browbeaten into keeping me alive until my eleventh birthday when I was told that magic was real - it's all hidden in my world, closed off into their own little corner - and taken away to school to be taught and to start fighting." Admittedly, he's painting in broad strokes, but should Martel want further information, he need only ask. "The war was quiet for a few years, but became more, ah, active when I was about fifteen. It was mainly a guerilla affair with a group of untrained youth on the one side and established wizards on the other."
"I wouldn't say that having less to lose was an advantage, per se, but it changed how we fought. Still, years in, we were looking at either an outright failure or a, and I don't know if the term will translate, a Pyrrhic victory. We..." Others may have participated in the ideas, but it was Sebastian that made the offers and paid the price. "I made deals to get two rare objects: a needle and thread that could sew anything together and a knife that could sever just as much."
"Using the connection I had to Voldemort, I bound my magic to his and then removed them both. By this point, we'd already destroyed all the other soul fragments and as a mortal, I was able to kill him."
