There has been a bit of trouble lately and talk of ways to remedying it.
He could rule countless realms...yet he chooses to degrade himself by asking for peace and help in establishing the nine realms as a safe environment for all. Oh, you silly oaf, don't you know that you can never truly expect beings to behave a certain way? You simply can not accept them for what they are, for what they are born to say, think, and do? Ha!

Not the pathetic excuse for a council, Odin, Thor, nor mother shall mislead me from obtaining rightful power on Asgard.
No one.
