You got it wrong actually. The mortals stopped ascending as they become stale and reliant on false ideals and materialism. They stoped believing in themselves and while technologically progressed, they regressed as a group or better a collective that aimed to search for enlightenment. And after all that time one was close in doing it the right proper ways, not for some shady reasons, she gave up on it for her loved one. That is someone to preserve, to save.

And yes, madness is right on. Long ago he went on a planet engulfed in war to judge it. There ge encountered orphan children of the two opposing humanoids living in poverty yet unity while their world was burning in war. Long story short there was a little girl that awoken fatherly feelings in himself. One day they were all killed by one factions bombing raid. That being a 'natural' death for their universe and world their revival was forbidden. That made him see mortals fundamentally evil, selfish creatures thad destroy everything around them for their pettyness.

To a point I agree, but I don't find it ill educated or cocky. As you get the posibility of living and doing something to honor your survival and respect your fallen enemy, after you defeated them. You can't learn while dead thus a loss altough not always have that possibility. Winners write history and the rules of the world (or scale defined territory). It is what you'll do after that will determine if you're honorable or even the evil one for that matter.

Arael was completely sealed as a 'blank' Human baby in hope to help him see there are more mortals like his students were and developed into Aro over time. Eventually they split yet still share the same vessel. They have the same memories, experiences and such, but emotions felt from them and opinions differ, leading to internal struggles. But interacting with his adopted Inari mother, sisters and father he relearned to love and respect, not that he'd ever admit it.
