In the Grand Pegasus Enclave, you never questioned orders. The threat of being called a "Dashite" and facing exile made sure of that. Loyalty, that was what they called it.

Grey Summer held those ideals close to his heart. And so, when the chaos hit, when the Enclave descended from the sky and began tearing itself apart thanks to the interference of a stable-dwelling unicorn, he remained loyal. He took on the mission given to him and went back in time. He was going to save all of Equestria. He was going to stop the war from ever happening.

No matter the cost.
