In this chapter, the immortal servant of the lord, named kenneth irons, explains that he and his brothers have been chosen by God to be his "good name" and to be "god's chosen" . He tells his brothers that they will suffer from illness and injury, but they will not suffer as much as his father, who was killed in battle in the seventeenth century. He asks his brothers to come to him and give him what he wants, or he will take it from them. Unsure of his identity, sara asks him who his father was, and he tells her that he is the son of a man who was once a pain in his ass for many years. He says that his father and sara's father have strayed from the "holy path" , and that their lives are mapped out by eight hundred years of scars. sara tells him that he has to help her, but he says that even if he were immortal, he would not be able to save her sorry ass.
