Men lived in fear of each other, for the strong preyed upon the weak." An {{understatement}}, if you have any historical knowledge at all. TheDungAges is mostly a myth, but it was still an insanely violent and dangerous time.

** A bit of FridgeHorror there, too. Archimedes is noticeably terrified of her, suggesting that she has a [[TheDreaded nasty reputation]]. The way she tells Arthur that she's going to kill him is that of someone making a casual (if negative) observation. Her only reason to kill him is [[DisproportionateRetribution the fact that Merlin considers him good]]. This combination of facts implies that Mim has ''killed people before''. And felt absolutely zero remorse for it too!
