Defining moment

What’s your most character defining moment for Hadrian throughout the series?

Personally mines in Howling Dark (Chapter 70) when he kills Nobuta

‘And to myself—to no one— I said, “The Sword, our Orator!”’

That line really gives me the chills.

Of course, there are plenty of other moments where Hadrians ‘Suneater’ character is defined but this is one that stuck out to me.
