Tigran was convinced he was engaged in a cause of utmost sanctity. For the eternal freedom and peace of the Armenian people, he was willing to sacrifice everything—even his own life.
He believed most Armenians were ignorant and narrow-minded, and thus needed to be whipped with pain, driven toward the sacred cause.
Therefore, he was willing to be unscrupulous, and he believed deeply in this philosophy.
Only by surpassing the Turkic People in cruelty and ruthlessness could they possibly defeat them.
He was born an Armenian and lived in this land; his very purpose was to make it free and unfettered.
"You ignorant traitors! You will never understand the sacred cause the great Duke Ruben is undertaking. Armenians can have their own kingdom! We don't have to beg the Greeks or the Turkic People for..."
"Bullshit! That's a kingdom for you thugs in uniform!"
"You took my son! I just want him back!"
