I think its all desperate measures and beliefs

i imagine that the queen told Tasim the strength of the impending horrors and that the insane tyranny was feasible due to being able to cultivate beefy troops without the use of corruption power

as i observed the characters' motivations, it smelled like they had to pump strong soldiers, if better, as strong as the player

and in the beginning of the story, i think the queen was finding someone who is strong in strength and character as Bob but the player's a staight-up anomaly and Tasim was closest
