George wasn't exactly humble, but his life had always featured examples of higher greatness ever since Istrone's rebellion.
Khan was just too great. Impossible achievements were the norm for him, and that trend had ended up attracting similar people to his inner circle and social array, surrounding him with exceptional individuals.
Monica was a political monster. All the Niqols were incredible in their own right, with Liiza and Ilman taking the crown. Khan's relatives wielded skills and experience that only a lifetime of efforts could create, and the same went for the scientists and soldiers who had joined his organization.
Even if George only compared himself to those in the step before extraordinary, he remained outclassed. Luke, Mark, Lucian, and the other allied descendants came from far greater and influential families. The Ildoo family was getting there, but it would take time before George gained the same political relevance and weight.
