Why does the imperial Aquila only have one eye? Is there any mention in the fluff?

Let's explore.

The eyed eagle looks to the past with wide eyed enthusiasm
While the other has his eyes closed, looking to the past deeds, somberly.

Ah-ha.. memory had not entirely left me.

Oh Rogue Trader, why do you still have more inventiveness than a lot of the later more "stable" stuff

One head looks to the past with an all seeing eye, the other stares blindly into the future.

Thanks guys.
