[Each name holds a veritable weight for Emet-Selch as well. Though for differing reasons. Hermes he certainly does wish he could have changed his mind, that they might have been able to reason with him, but if he were to be honest, it was clear to him that Hermes mind was made up long before that report was given. Before the man had even realized it. His feelings for the man is both empathy and anger.
For Elidibus his heart aches, for his initial and continued sacrifice, having had to watch him lose bits of himself over time, piece by piece did he fall apart, did he because more duty than man. Like watching a loved one fade away before your eyes, and there was nothing you could do to stop it. Helpless in futility.
Venat, well. Need anything be said about what Venat's name means for him? The suffering and pain and burden she saddled him with? While he will not argue that her plan bore fruit, that it was but one way towards staving off annihilation, he hardly agrees with the method, nor the sacrifice. The betrayal to their people she enacted...
Then there's Hythlodaeus, whom he cherishes above all for his noble sacrifice and selfless act. Whom he respected and loved before such a terrible act was needed, yet that snuffed out any possible remaining doubt (there wasn't any) for his feelings towards the other man. He mourned him as he did their world and people, but to have him back in any capacity, it is a salve his soul needs but he isn't entirely sure he's earned.
He has no regrets for what he was made to do, guilt however? It weighs as it should.]
I'm afraid there isn't much to tell. The coward primarily speaks from afar, through the network primarily, thus we have not been granted the privilege of seeing his face. Nor do we know his name, really. However, he had temporarily warped the simulation and everyone within it, and so while he is rather...grating in some respects, he has made it apparent that he is no idle threat.
[A brief pause, then he looks to Obsidian again.]
...the current foolishness that is being foisted upon everyone is not his doing. There was something far more sinister ere this idiocy.
He seems to want this little operation to fail. None too dissimilar to Fandaniel's nihilistic designs, though I cannot attest if he shares the same suicidal fascination.

[As if he has room to talk about that...]
