Yes, his intentions to become a god were never for glory or worship or divine justice. Just to prevent himself from being recaptured. I've always feared that he created a situation too complex and dangerous that even he could not escape what he's done, but I didn't imagine this.

I'm not quite sure how much of himself is sealed away, or for how much longer. Friday said she was holding onto the part of the Captain that used to be loved. Valdis said he's claimed to not have a soul, so maybe his own soul was the first to build this ship. But he's contacted Fio through her dreams, had her give him a name, asked her to remember him. And Friday warned her, warned Skulduggery that the Captain knowing could be the end of reality. I've tried to keep it secret, but right now it feels as if... well, Friday's jumped off the ship because Crabb admitted to her that she's interfered with the sigils, the Captain made himself forget all of this seemingly deliberately.
