Hm... If you want him to be altered, it'd be strange to do it right out of the blue, but it would be easy to tie into one of the storylines i've already mentioned. It'd be possibly that alteration would be a side-effect of entering the gate (Or indeed the purpose of the gate- the creation of afflicted), or alternatively it could be done as the final sanction by whichever fear he aligns himself with to prevent his obvious rebellious tendencies. Permanently altering him to try to gain a tighter leash on his actions, or if he's actually been co-operative to reward him and make him better able to fight against the other factions over the gate.

Any ideas as to the nature of the alteration though? Purely mental? Physical? How much of his intellect or humanity do you plan to be retained? Will he become stronger, or simply more broken and fragmented as a result of the change?
