You know what those boys really needed? A mom. Even the ones with the luck to be adopted don't seem to have had any significant female nurturers or role models.

Accelerating their growth so they were physically mature within a year or so was a HUGE mistake. Emps seems to have totally underestimated the need for emotional maturing along with physical and intellectual. No wonder his boys had problems! As somebody above wisely observed the Emperor was supremely out of touch with normal human's psychology and I suspect his own emotions as well. I wonder if he had a mother?
