Society is scared of them. Scared of us. And for a good reason, too. We can make people go mad, walk through walls, and level cities if we really try. Although, not all Variants are bad. I didn't truly know what it was like until I was in the Underground. Most Variants live in hiding, away from the crumbling society all around us. Those who do not hide either run or are taken. There is no in-between. But we're not what they think. Well, most of us anyway. Carthage was one of the first to fight back, but not against society. Against his own. He's the reason we have to hide; the reason we are taken. He's the reason that we have to go to war.
