->Dealing death had always been his business and the only trade he had ever excelled at. He became more and more interested in it as he grew older, as an artist will become more interested in the qualities and levels of light, as writers will feel for character and nuance like blind men reading braille. What interested him the most was the actual ''leaving...'' the actual exhalation of the soul... the exit from what the body and what human beings knew as life and the passing into something else. What must it be like to feel yourself slipping away? Would you think it was a dream from which you would awake? Was the Christian Devil there with his fork, ready to jam it through your shrieking soul and carry it down to Hell like piece of meat on a shish kabob? Was there joy? Did you know where you were going? What is it that the eyes of the dying see?
->Rainbird hoped he would have the chance to find out for himself. In his business, [[SurprisinglySuddenDeath death was often quick and unexpected]], something that happened in the flick of an eye. He hoped that when his own death came, he would have time to prepare and feel everything. More and more lately, he had watched the faces of the people he killed, hoping to find the secret in their eyes.
->Death interested him.
-->--''Literature/{{Firestarter}}''

->[[PunchClockVillain Most people]] find a job so they can live. I lived for my job. Once you've killed a man who was begging for his life, and everyone congratulates you on a job well done, nothing can compare. I used it all: electric chair, the rope, rifles, but [[DeadlyGas gas]] was my favorite. There's such a purity to it. I always wished they would have kept me busier - my talents were under-utilized. There were certainly enough people [[KickTheSonOfABitch who deserved what I could provide]]; they just needed to be brought to me.
-->--'''Hermes T Haight,''' ''VideoGame/TheSuffering''

->But [[AntagonisticOffspring Thibor]] was wild, demented in his cruelties! [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad the (so called) Impaler]], Radu the Handsome, and Mircea the Monk (whose reign was so short) had all tasked him with the protection of Wallachia and the chastisement of its enemies; tasks in which he delighted, at which he excelled. Indeed, the Impaler, one of history's favourite villains, [[HistoricalVillainDowngrade suffers undeservedly]]: he was cruel, aye, but in fact he has been named for Thibor's deeds! Like my name, [[{{Unperson}} Thibor's has been struck]], but the stark terror of his deeds will live forever.
-->--'''Faethor Ferenczy,''' ''Literature/{{Necroscope}} II: Wamphyri''

->The horseman was a Hessian mercenary sent to the shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England. But unlike his compatriots, who came for money, the horseman came for love of carnage. When battle was joined, there you'd find him.
-->-- Baltus Van Tassel describing the '''Hessian Horseman''' (later the Headless Horseman), ''Film/SleepyHollow1999''

-> Killing is its own reward... but gold works too.
-->-- '''Lorash,''' ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft (War of the Thorns event)''

->Mr. Wonderful let the knife complete a few more revolutions, then thrust it straight through his right palm. He watched his own blood drool down into his sleeve for a moment like a cat watching the birds. “Fulfillment,” he repeated, finally. “I can't remember the last time I got fulfillment out of this gig. Is it true you lot died before [[DeathIsCheap the Infusion?]]"
->Meryl and I nodded wordlessly, staring at his hand.
->"God, those times were rich. I could take pride in my work back then. I could [[GlasgowGrin cut a lovely little smile into a pretty face]] and know it'd have it for life. I could feel a man's dying breath upon my sleeve and know [[ResurrectiveImmortality he wouldn't be back up and writing formal letters of complaint the moment I took my eyes off him]]." His tone of voice remained level, but his face was screwed up with hatred and his fingers were drumming the knife-hilt like hyperactive woodpeckers.
-->--''Literature/{{Mogworld}}''

->'''Spider-Man''': Rhino's getting his [[ClingyCostume suit]] removed... what did [[spoiler:Octavius]] promise you, Scorpion?\\

-->--''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4''

-->--'''Psycho Mantis''', ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''

->[[TortureTechnician Karlos]] is an artist, surrounded by brutes. While others would use pain as a means to an end, to him, [[{{Sadist}} the pain is the end]], and the act of interrogation the most dull and banal part of the job. He has drifted from employer to employer – always hired for his expertise, always dismissed for his unconcern with actually discovering information. He has worked with [[KnightTemplar witch hunters]], but [[EveryoneHasStandards even they dismiss him]], because he doesn’t even put up a front of caring about heretics or magic. He just wants the ability to earn money doing what he loves – hurting people.
->Karlos can be found almost anywhere in the Old World, plying his trade for whoever will employ him. If he encounters a fellow interrogator, he may decide to test them to see if they have the same spark he does, and [[EvilMentor pass along his skills if they do]]. If they don’t... [[YouHaveFailedMe well]]... sometimes he works for free.
-->--'''Interrogator,''' ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay: Career Compendium - The Ultimate Career Reference''

->No drug, no religious experience touches you like turning a man into a corpse. [[ConsummateProfessional You need a brain, though]]. Without discipline and expertise, you'll find yourself strapped into an electric chair. A tragedy for loved ones, a big fat nothing for everyone else, and a problem solved for [[MegaCorp my clients]]. I'm just the instrument of my clients' will. If it wasn't me, it'd be the next fixer in the Yellow Pages. Blame its owner, blame its maker, but don't blame the gun.
-->--'''Bill Smoke,''' ''Literature/CloudAtlas''

-> '''Megan Dietrich:''' At one time, Lono worked for my family. His job was to... take care of what needed to be taken care of.
-> '''Milo Garrett:''' Must be comforting to be able to afford something like that.
-> '''Megan Dietrich:''' It's nerve racking. More like being a lion tamer. Cracking a whip to have an animal jump through a hoop when it could more easily turn and rip off your head.
