Monk
[edit]- For leading the revolution, you are exiled to the planet Earth. Once there, you will be immortal. You can only die if your head is cut from your body. When one of you becomes the last of us on Earth, he will claim the prize. He can return to Zeist, or chose to grow old and die on Earth.
- Prepare yourselves...There can be only one.
Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez
