1* CompleteMonster:
2** [[{{Sadist}} Hugo von Danveld]] stands out in the [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade monstrous]] Order of UsefulNotes/TheTeutonicKnights. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Unpopular even among his brethren of Knights]], Hugo takes pleasure in slaughtering pagans and Christian Poles who protect them. When he and other Knights ambush pagans, Polish Knight Jurand of Spychow protects pagans, and Hugo [[DirtyCoward leaves his brothers to die]], only avoiding punishment since he swears on an oath that he lost control over his horse, thus breaking a holy taboo of his Order. Hating Jurand for making him stand trial, Hugo comes up with a plan to kidnap Jurand's underage daughter Danusia and expresses desire to rape her too. When the messenger of Teutonic Knights, Mr. de Fourcy, doesn't like the plan, and decides to inform a Polish prince about it, Hugo has him murdered. Once Danusia is kidnapped, Hugo has the bandits who kidnapped her hanged instead of compensating them. When Jurand comes and begs for his daughter, Hugo takes pleasure in the father's despair and taunts him that even if he gives him his daughter back, she will give him his bastard.
