'''Bruce Wayne:''' It wasn't a popularity contest. He was a psychopath. [[YouMonster A monster]].

->''"Thank you, Nanno. But I'm sorry...I didn't really need your help. I just needed victims. Well, did you think I was stupid? I put up with all the pain and torture, everything they did to me, because I was waiting to get my revenge.
I didn't trick you to get me the laptop because I wanted to know what was on it. I just wanted
all their clients' information. So I can blackmail them myself. Get it? Their whole business is mine now.''"

->''"A lion doesn't pass judgement on a gazelle. Cancer doesn't pass judgement on a brain. I've been saying this all along. [[StrawNihilist Evil doesn't exist. There are only actions]]. We got to the same place -- the top of the food chain -- just on different paths. Mine was more fun."''

->''There are many types of monster in this world. Monsters who will not show themselves and cause trouble, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and ... monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance. They are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart. They eat even though they've never experienced hunger. They study even though they have no interest in academics. They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such a monster, I would likely be eaten by it. Because, in truth, I am that monster.''

->"...any therapy would likely further enable his abilities to manipulate others. His intelligence and superficial charm, combined with his pathologic egocentricity and internalized morality, make him a dangerous individual deserving of clinical management and incarceration. He is driven by some, as yet, undefined goal. Kira's targeting of criminals gives a certain mask of sanity and 'goodness' in terms of his reasoning, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist but, due to his narcissism and deep-rooted antipathy, I doubt that they are exclusively or will remain his true aim of attack]].

->''Silva’s a loan shark. Shakes people down for money when they can’t afford it. Dad took out some loans to him to keep up paying for the bills on our place. And the one time he couldn’t pay up enough, that’s when he decided to take someone from him. Mom. Dad told me he’s ruthless. He’d kill someone with a smile and go off to have lunch in twenty minutes. Wouldn’t even ruin his appetite.''

->The problem with you and Kabal, Kira, is that you both '''knew''' what you were doing while you were with us, you '''knew''' you were killing and torturing innocent people, you '''knew''' you were doing awful things. You just didn't think about it because you didn't want the guilt to make you hesitate. It wasn't until you saw for yourselves the truth of our work, how other people suffered and died because of what we do, then you realized you'd been lying to yourselves the whole time. And that's the difference between the two of you and the rest of us; you see, we '''knew''' the whole time what we were doing and what the consequences of our actions might be, we '''knew''' other people paid the price because of us, we never lied to ourselves to make things easier and do you want to know why? '''Because we just don't care'''. That's the best thing about being a psychopath; we understand concepts like mercy, love and remorse, but we don't experience them as emotions. And that, my dear Kira, is why everything we do is '''so damn easy!'''

->''I believe there are monsters born in the world to human parents. Some you can see, misshapen and horrible, with huge heads or tiny bodies; some are born with no arms, no legs, some with three arms, some with tails or mouths in odd places. They are accidents and no one’s fault, as used to be thought. Once they were considered the visible punishment for concealed sins. And just as there are physical monsters, can there not be mental or psychic monsters born? The face and body may be perfect, but if a twisted gene or a malformed egg can produce physical monsters, may not the same process produce a malformed soul? Monsters are variations from the accepted normal to a greater or a less degree. As a child may be born without an arm, so one may be born without kindness or the potential of conscience. A man who loses his arms in an accident has a great struggle to adjust himself to the lack, but one born without arms suffers only from people who find him strange. Having never had arms, he cannot miss them. Sometimes when we are little we imagine how it would be to have wings, but there is no reason to suppose it is the same feeling birds have. [[EvilCannotComprehendGood No, to a monster the norm must seem monstrous, since everyone is normal to himself. To the inner monster it must be even more obscure, since he has no visible thing to compare with others]]. [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.]] It is my belief that Cathy Ames was born with the tendencies, or lack of them, which drove and forced her all of her life. Some balance wheel was misweighed, some gear out of ratio. She was not like other people, never was from birth.

Tag it well. Of course, his basic problem is common or garden homicidal mania. It's been treatable for fifty years. It would lead another man to become a mercenary or a serial killer, but Truro Daine is not another man, he is the third or fourth loftiest intelligence in the world.
