* AssholeVictim: He primarily preys on children, converting them into his brainwashed slaves, while keeping the rest locked in cages to the point where they are dying of the poor conditions. And then returns Damian's one show of Mercy by trying to stab him InTheBack. In short, his utterly gruesome death by Talon was well deserved.
