[His turn in the realm of not quite comfortable subjects, he supposes.]
When I was younger, I was serving my great-grandfather. He was a famous mage, Rezo the Red Priest. He was known for doing all these kind things, healing the sick and that sort of thing, but he himself had been blind since birth. So some others and I, we did a lot of things for him, to help him so he could do even more.
[His features cloud over because of course there's a bad twist.] But it wasn't enough for him. He decided he wanted to gain his vision at any cost, so he started secretly experimenting with dark magic. Taboo stuff that shouldn't be touched.
