Willem Dafoe: Noble Pelican

Quotes 

• Noble Pelican : Young one... put me out of my misery. My wing is broken. I cannot fly.

  Mahito Maki : That's what you get for trying to attack the Warawara!

  Noble Pelican : We did not choose this life. My kind were brought to this hellscape so we could eat the Warawara. This sea... has few fish we can eat. **gasps** My kind... were all starving... We flew as high as we could, as high and far as our wings could carry us... but it always ended the same way. We could only reach this island. Now... our newborns are forgetting how to fly. We eat the Warawara... The Fire Maiden burns us...

  [Blood spills from his beak] 

  Noble Pelican : This sea here... is... cursed...

  [He dies]
