First, it was Luna, an advanced human, who stated that Achilles was not like them.
Then came King Darrun Flamewake of the Primordial Age. He, too, declared the same: Achilles was not like them either.
The Primordial Age rejected him. The Evolutius Age cast him aside as well.

He could not be human.

Blood that shimmered like gold.
