I tried to do it through his lieutenants and plenepotentiaries (hope I spelled
that right, I'm too tired to get the dictionary down). ISN gives you his
point of view, ditto for Nightwatch, MiniPax, others. I think if I had him
just saying it out loud, it would diminish him much the way that repeated
exposure to the shadow vessels gradually removed their mystery and menace.
Less is more.
