Master Hanellin:
Have you ever heard of the ruler of an ancient empire who sought immortality? For this, the Gods imprisoned him in a high tower. Locked down for many centuries, doomed to live forever, the emperor eventually went insane and turned into a monster. Since then, the ban on the search for eternal life - this is one of the immutable laws of the ancient empire. Immortality is one of the most protected secrets. And this mystery is known to the emperor.
"The Emperor? Are you talking about Baium?"
