Can someone help me with that bold part?

Also I do not understand

> その復活を望んだ人間がいた  
>  A: The person who desired for revival  
>  B: The person whose revival you desired

Which is correct?

たとえ～としてもだ means "(the aforementioned sentence is true) Even if ...". たとえ is
optional. Example:

> 何も喋るな。たとえ聞かれてもだ。 (≒ たとえ聞かれても、何も喋るな。)  
>  Don't say anything. Even if you're asked.

その復活を望んだ人間がいた refers to B: the person whose revival you desired. Depending on
the context, 復活を望む人間 by itself can mean "someone who is dead and desires their
own revival", "someone who desires someone else's revival" or "someone whose
revival someone else desires". In your case, the implicit change of subject is
unlikely to happen after te-from (記録し), so it's 'おまえ自身' who desired something.
And of course, a dead person can't have desire in this situation (because they
don't exist!).

By the way, that そうだな is not "yes" but like "say" used to give an example.
