tldr: before retiring as a builder at the summer home, foolish had a dark past as a violent warrior, a “totem of death”-- a life which he later turned away from in order to find peace.

“EASY JOB. NO INNOCENTS. BIG REWARD. EASY MONEY. PEACEFUL HEIST.”
“THE PURSUIT OF PEACE.”
Description:
The video starts by showing a village whilst it’s raining and thundering. We see foolish then riding up to the village on horse. He walks up to a chest and opens it.
Then we see a shot of foolish with a totem in his hand, and later him with a charged bow. He shoots off an arrow and it flies through the air and hits somewhere as the screen cuts to black.
The sounds of rain and thundering fade back in as the camera pans over the previous village- now burning and covered in lava. In the background people are screaming in the distance. A rendition of “amazing graze” starts playing.
Foolish stands amongst the burning village with a totem in hand, watching.
He leaves the village and stares off into the distance as he sits on his horse, silently as the rain falls. (wearing medieval-like clothing)
“The Pursuit of Peace” - on screen.

[The Crimson Egg]
After being killed by Antfrost at the red banquet as a sacrifice for the Egg, Foolish wakes up in his summer home and the egg talks to him.
Post. Red Banquet Transcript:
Egg: Call me what you want. I have many names as you know, but you've forgotten.
Foolish: What do you mean? no, no ,no- i've never heard of you before. it wasn't that long ago that I'd first met you.
Egg: I am an ancient one. even more ancient than you. [...] It's not too late for you to join me. I will make you strong again. Go back to being a totem of death. And together we can rule, and create peace.

[Quackity Visits Foolish]
After making Las Nevadas, Quackity visits foolish to convince him to join his new country.
After foolish declined to join, Quackity pointed out foolish’s chaotic nature, telling him he knows “who he is”, and had researched his past. foolish explains he’s happy with his peaceful building life, and that he once had believed peace could be found through violence- but later learned that that kind of living only leads to fear, power, hatred and resentment.
Foolish: “The only thing I did was accelerate war, okay? That doesn’t work. So I pushed back, ran from it all. And this is good, I’m in a much happier place.”
