You have seen them, at least in part. They are the ones who tried to kill you.
[In whatever form they came, with whatever method they would use on a man who seemed in many ways to be ordinary.]
I would that I could tell you their name, or their true face, but we have only ever faced their agents. Through them they have hunted us relentlessly for ages, longer than anyone knows. They move throughout the multiverse, influencing others, moving pieces into place. They interfere, change the development of people, planets, galaxies, sowing chaos.
[It is overly poetic- in part because of old habits, the education of a prince, and in part because he knows that the answer is unsatisfactory. Dressing it up did little to change that, but at least it sounded more certain than the barest truth, which was simply: "they want to kill us", and nothing more.]
We monitor the universes where we can, looking for signs of their interference, and we do what we can to prevent their plans from coming to fruition.
