His extraordinary digestive capabilities, coupled with the peculiar temporal acceleration he experienced, allowed him to consume the remains of the fallen without the slightest discomfort.

A ravenous appetite stirred within him, yet he knew the delicate balance of loyalty and fear that tethered his subjects to him. To consume these once-loyal beings without cause could breed dissent, could chill the very marrow of trust that bound his makeshift family.
