The Eternal Flame Sect Master was a simple man most of the time. He wanted the world to obey his commands and his woman to bend to his will at all times. It was all he needed but fools kept defying him and pesky rules told him what he could and could not do.
His plans had all gone awry just when it seemed to come together. He had been too impetuous when he banished Delenn to the mortal realms like that.
He could never retrieve her but at the time he thought he would. Only as he advanced further in his weaving did he fully grasp the futility of his actions.
Sending someone away was fairly easy, but actively defying the order of Heaven and Earth to retrieve them would only result in his death.
He had been resigned to it even more when the Corruption locked them all away in the 2nd layer.
Then, as if Heaven rewarded his patience, she had returned. He had come for her but disaster struck in ways no one could predict.
