In this chaper, in the "Skeleton", we are introduced to a character that is rich to such such a magnitude, that he is willing to completely refurbish an old Star ship, in order to train cadets in real-world situations. 

Not just any cadets from well-off families of different solar systems - and Earth, but the outcast. Young people who have no chance of getting into the academy because of their deprived backgrounds. 

In the 21st century, it would be equivalent to kids that are given ASBOs or have grown up deprived in developing countries. Rather than having to spend their lives wasting away in ghettos on various worlds, they are given probation orders and carry out community service on the REFORMER. At least, that is the vision for the ship Cyrus has in his heart. His desire also is that young deprived people are not caught up in the helpless and hopeless lifestyle he was involved in when growing up.

You see, Cyrus himself was once a kid that didn't seem to have any meaning in life on Varsha 3. When he was a young man, trouble and gangs was the only thing he knew. He experienced all kinds of traumas in his young life. At one point, he went to a solitary place that had an old castle on a hill. It turned out there was a monastic order living within its walls. 

A monk on his way to plant vegetables in fields, saw the young Cyrus in a desperate condition and invited him inside to be cared for. Now grown up, a completely different person as a result of living in the monastery, Cyrus turned out to be extremely rich...not just in material wealth, but also spiritually. 

All profit from his ship yard construction endeavours, go towards helping down and out kids and their families, from whatever alien background they are from. From a heart of stone to one filled with compassion. That is his true riches.

Being blessed comes at a cost...and there are always people around that are envious about the success of others...even to the point of spreading rumours to ruin the reputation of someone who has experienced good things in their lives. 

Cyrus doesn't take much notice of the skeptical adversaries who hound him about his past record. He keeps on doing what he knows best, and leaving his critics speechless. 

Someone out there greater than himself has been watching over him since the day he was born. Perhaps the traumatic and ghetto upbringing before being with the monks, has turned out as a blessing in disguise. He is giving out of his material wealth to those who are less fortunate than he is... and whom he can closely relate to...he has been there...and wore the bloodstained shirt. 

He has paid for countless inoculations against deceases common on the worlds in which the alien children are from; reconstructing homes destroyed in natural disasters; getting materials for educating them in preparation for what they will encounter in adolescent and adult lives; and much more. 

Why would people be envious or jealously malicious towards someone that does such generous things? They are not bothered to lift a finger to do the same themselves...simple.

The next couple of chapters are about his struggles to clear his name and demonstrate to those who have spread unfounded rumours, that he truly is a changed man.
