Can't say she is innocent though, considering she seems to have reached the point where multiple generations of elves have come and gone while she remained alive.
Ironically, she probably hates it the most. Getting turned into a monster means she is likely stronger than her human self, which makes it even harder to die a warrior's death.
So... his objective to solve the problem is to save the "uninfected" people and sterilize or blow up everyone else.
... Is there actually any way to guarantee someone is not infected?
It would be pretty interesting if the monk actually embodies morality and is upset/frustrated at one of their monks taking it without permission than using it to save a life.
