T'korr was a hard man...but a good leader. He put his subjects before himself. Can I say the same for Vulcan? It does not matter. He is my Majestor. My planet is now gone. With but one exception, I am the last of my kind. Why, then, do I remain loyal? Because it was the last wish of the elders. Because if I do not, my centuries-long existence -- an their sacrifice -- loses all meaning. Because I am Gladiator. And I have sworn to serve.

-- Gladiator
