What is wrong with Graven Ashe?

[Marco H]

Hi All,

Bit of a random question but it's been bugging me... I;ve nearly got to the end of a play through and couldn't work it out!! I took the disfavored route and helped Graven Ashe for most of the game, every time I talked to him he seemed to have some kind of medical complaint or to be unfocused. Do you ever find out what's going on with him?

a bit spoilery perhaps

the aegis literally works by transferring the wound to graven ashe
so every time the aegis activates on a disfavored he get's the wound the soldier would have gotten, it's a miracle that the guy is even alive, let alone leading an army
