While the 10 years of amber eyes training consistency is a bit distracting (unless he's just that gifted), I'm kind of interested in how he was shaped. I'm also interested in how everyone will react to his departure, considering many of them were probably life long friends. Maybe they really didn't want him gone, and he just took it to the extreme. Dealing with people trashing him day in and day out because of his eye color and abilities had to have been tiring.
