[There's a face you'd hoped to never see again. The last time Arthur showed up on the network, half of ALASTAIR was in jail. He never shows up unless something terrible has happened. Arthur sighs, exasperated, as if someone off-camera is being particularly grumpy at him.]

I fear I must ask for your assistance again.

Last time we spoke, I begged for my brother's life. I believed he could change. That he hadn't yet passed the point of no return. I want you all to know that Michel wasn't always like this. Once, he might have used his magic for good. All magicians have goblin blood, though, and it became something he was expected to hide. Anger is a powerful emotion. He let it fester, and...

I don't have time to give you our entire life story, I'm afraid. Your people handed Michel over to me. He had stopped fighting me, I truly thought he was no longer a threat. It seems that was the calm before the storm.

He disappeared in the thick of night, but not without leaving a letter. He went to the castle. It's time for someone new on the throne, he said.

[Arthur pauses, looking conflicted. He takes a breath and closes his eyes.]

Kill him. [He opens his eyes and lets out a sigh, like a large burden has been lifted from his shoulders.] He is past the point of no return. I found plans for runes with his things. I don't know where they are, but they must be somewhere within the city. What they do, I cannot say, but I know he would not waste his time with them unless they were important.

Destroy them. Kill him, because if it's left up to me, I fear I will be too weak to do it.
