A scorpion and a turtle meet at the bank of a river. The turtle knows it can swim the river. The scorpion knows it can't. For this and that reason, the turtle offers to carry the scorpion across the river, so they each might continue their journey. The scorpion accepts.
When they're halfway across, the scorpion lifts its tail and stings the turtle in the soft skin of its neck.
"Now you've killed us both!" Said the turtle. "Why did you do that?"
The scorpion simply said, "Because it's in my nature."
Anyway, our Master Scorpion shared the tail with me in describing himself. It's worth keeping in mind.
What serves his end is to weaken the Brotherhood and Matthias. He keeps us from their easy grasp for that reason. Don't mistake it for anything more.
