The surviving brother pursues his vendetta against the Governor with a tenacity that borders on the unhinged, swearing an oath to kill the Governor and everyone related to him.

Io giuro su Dio, su queste onde che ci sono fedeli compagne e sulla mia anima, che non avrò bene sulla terra finchè io non avrò vendicato i miei fratelli uccisi da Wan Guld!
