- Complete Monster: Cardinal Vasquez was an ambitious Cardinal during the height of The Spanish Inquisition. Finding out about the Heart of Darkness, a mystic jewel with which its owner could control the Darkness itself, Vasquez embarked on a quest to find it. Capturing, torturing, and killing countless thousands of suspected mystics, Vasquez managed to track down the jewel in the camp of a Romani wizard. Managing to convince the wizard to hand him over the jewel in exchange for sparing the wizard's family, Vasquez simply decided to burn them all at the stake after they handed over the jewel, since he figured he will still follow his promise by "sparing them from Hell by the way of Christian execution".
