Alvin said he didn't need protection. That wasn't just talk; it was the truth.
According to Ezekiel, Chief Librarian of the Dark Angels, a rough estimate placed Alvin's psychic strength at "Delta" level under the Imperium's twenty-four-tier classification system. But Alvin had come to the conclusion that his limits seemed to lie far beyond Delta.
