I assumed it had something to do with him given the mission it's in his own mind and memory...

I remember during Inner Demons that Zara's voice mentions a demon of Envy, was she not referring to the would-be-Spite there?

He basically became a Tranquil WHILE THEY TORTURED HIM. The strength and elsticity of mind, the control exerted over his emotions, all learned through the hellscape that is the Crow training he endured.
That's how he is no demon, that's how he survived. (5/5)

This man reached the same meditative state the Seekers of Truth reach during their Vigil, and that is normally conducted in a calm and peaceful environment and draws a spirit to you, WHILE they were actively forcing a spirit in him! (4/5)

#veilguardspoilers
We see as early as DA:O that part of the Crow training is to endure pain and shut off emotions, Zevran in the Fade states as much, and Lucanis reiterates this during the game when he explained how he survived, but what he did went beyond that. (3/5)

#veilguardspoilers
This man was imprisoned for a year in the Ossuary, where Venatori tried to cultivate a demon inside him, an Envy demon to be exact.
When we rescue we see mostly corpses, but we also find out they still managed to create some to ship to various cities (2/5)

The first sentence is more like a jumpscare 🤣🙈

Guilty as charged 🙈

That will be a ride in and on itself 🥺

Please sir, don't betray us. Please.
