Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with glue that's been dusted with precious metals to highlight the repair rather than attempt to hide it. The idea is that the damage adds to the unique character of the piece, and that nothing is ever truly broken beyond repair. 

People are much the same; our scars are evidence of the events in our lives that may have hurt us but we survived. It was too good of a parallel for our favorite Byronic hero, who's been so severely damaged and yet is still holding himself together, somehow. 

I know I'm not the first person to have this idea, but this is my take on it.
