Additional info:
-Rasputin have made several quesitonable preparations for the coming Darkness, one of which is "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE", which may lead to a disaster.
-"ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE": If humanity's chances of survival fall below acceptable percentage, and/or Traveler decides to relocate, Rasputin will unleash his full arsenal AGAINST the Traveler, to lock him in place, and essentially use him as a weapon against the Veil.
This is what he meant by saying "I will defend humanity on my own terms". He seeks to destroy the Darkness no matter what it takes
This is what he meant by saying "I have no equal". He sees the Traveler as a rival, and/or nothing but a tool to be re-purposed, like SIVA.
TL;DR
-Rasputin is outstandingly cruel.
-Spending last 3 months roiding him the fuck up could be humanity's worst mistake.
-Do NOT tell Saladin ANY of this.
