He's been kidnapped twice by the Praetorians (And by what you find in Mother Mayhem's hospital, it seems this time the captivity was a lot more painful), curb stomped by Reichsman, then Tyrant, high level VEATs who see the terrible arc through to the end, beaten up in the Lord Recluse SF in both the present and future, he can't help fight Lord Recluse in his own TF for risk of getting curb stomped by Lord Recluse himself, and his grand daughter's grown up to be a militant nutjob who nearly crosses the line one too many times...
(WARNING: NEXT PART INVOLVES MY SHIPPER GOGGLES BEING ON)
And sister Psyche, probably the one woman he might be able to relate with, married Manticore.
Top all this with his other tragedies, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes to bed at night sucking a tenth bottle of whiskey while crying over a photo album of him and his wife.
Oh, let's not forget that the Well of Furies can take control of him, anytime, anywhere, and there's not a damn thing he can do to stop it or fight it when he didn't even know what he was getting into when he drank from the Fountain (if I recall, he was just trying to get cured from his exposure to mustard seed gas), and was likely killed in the future Mender Remial/your future self showed you.

I think he probably can have a heart-to-heart talks with Maria Jenkins, as I think she's probably his oldest friend who's still alive.

I was thinking more of the fanfic, but scandal works too.

And the poor guy is only a match for three even-con minions.
Maybe if he were a better hero...
Don't be. He survived for 35 seconds against our LRSF team, tough little bugger.

That is epic, Golden Girl.

Love is cruel, you can never have that you want the most.
Wow, the Statesman/Faultline thing just came out of far left field and is just growing strong.
