One can grow tired of anything, given time. Even war, strange though that may sound. Not battle, you understand! Not conflict, not struggle...that's how you know you're alive, by testing yourself against a worthy foe. Ideally with a strong drink in one hand and a sharp sword in the other.

But war? War is...it's...well, it's boring, really. Have you ever been to Acheron? Ranks, and files, and marching, and spending eternity taking orders from some devil with his head lodged firmly up his superior officer's arse...it wasn't for me, and neither were the random acts of cruelty. Especially those perpatrated against me.

When I stumbled -- all too literally, I'm afraid -- across an unsecured Planar Gate, I did what any self-respecting fighting-man would do, and deserted without even a moment's hesitation. I had my sword, I had my Book of Names Best Left Forgotten, and I had enough liquor to dull the pang of any lingering regrets.

Had I known that I'd spend the better part of the next decade running from World to World, with a pack of devils who really must -- let's be honest, now -- have had better things to do on my heels all the way...well, maybe I wouldn't have been so hasty. But, oh! The sights that I've seen, the things that I've killed, the liquids that I've imbibed! It's been worth it, friend, a thousand times over.

It's all been much more pleasant since I tripped -- again, literally, and it's a funny story, I swear, I'll have to tell you sometime -- over Anaximander on a fine day a few years back, and accepted his fine offer. More of a threat than an offer, really, but even so...I'm sure that it was kindly meant, in the end. I've almost entirely worked off my debt to him, in point of fact.
