Old Complete Monster cleanup thread

Welcome to the new Complete Monster (CM) cleanup thread! This thread is where we clean up or cut already-existing entries.

If you're looking to add new entries, please see the approval thread.

IMPORTANT: Before you begin any discussions on this thread, please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List. Here, you'll find explanations of the criteria for the trope as well as our rules/procedures for approving and cutting candidates.

What goes through this thread?

    Examples 
  • Cut requests. If you believe a CM has been approved and they do not count, this thread is where you propose their removal. To know how to go about this, please see the FAQ folder on the Administrivia page, where the process is explained in detail.
  • If we ever need to consider cutting multiple examples without individually reviewing them (e.g. if we discover widespread plagiarism with a particular troper's CMs), the initial discussion will be on this thread and we'll then escalate to the mod team (as described here) to get a formal consensus if we decide to recommend a mass cut.
  • If an entry was put on the wrong subpage/YMMV page, you may propose where they should be moved to.
  • Full rewrites of existing entries, including expansions, trims, and ground-up rewrites. If your rewrite is approved by the thread, feel free to add it to the drafts page so that other users can check grammar and the like before it is included with the rest of the weekly swaps.
  • If an entry on a work's YMMV page doesn't match the entry on the media subpage, you can bring it here to discuss which entry works better.

What does not go through this thread?

    Examples 
  • New candidate proposals - as stated before, those are done on this thread.
  • Unapproved wicks - if a Troper encounters either of these kinds of wicks, they can be cut with no approval.
    • Any CM link on a non-YMMV page - as a YMMV trope, it should not be linked on those pages regardless of any cleanup effort. The only exception is if the wick is being used within the definition of another trope.
    • If an CM link on a YMMV page refers to an unapproved character. If it refers to an approved character on any such page, the wick can stay. On the other hand, if the unapproved character being linked to sounds like they might have promise (and you don't feel like checking it out for yourself), feel free to mention it on the approval thread - someone may already know why they don't count, or it could invite a brand new discussion!
  • Proposals for images, quotes, and videos of already-approved CMs - quotes and images are proposed on the approval thread, while videos can be uploaded normally as they are screened for approval by the moderation.
  • Crosswicking examples to YMMV pages - if an example has already been approved and added to the main page, you do not require any special permission to add the example to a work's YMMV page (assuming the work has a page already). If a YMMV page doesn't exist yet, then you can make it yourself, but either way, feel free to just add the example without asking.
  • Small changes to existing entries - these can simply be done on a Troper's own prerogative with no approval.
    • Spelling and grammar fixes.
    • Pothole changes.
    • Minor rewordings.
    • Spoiler tags.

While these changes do not require any kind of approval, it is requested that should you make any of these changes, you do one of the following:

  1. Make the same changes on the relevant Sandbox page, then add the Sandbox to the list at the bottom of the drafts page. This will add the Sandbox to the weekly swaps and ensure that the edits end up on the relevant locked page. If the Sandbox is already listed, then once you make the edits, your job is already done!
  2. If you don't know how the Sandboxes work or simply don't have the time to find it, then you can simply post on the thread about the changes you made. Someone else can then make the edit on the relevant Sandbox and add it to the weekly swaps.
  3. Alternatively, you can simply request that the change be made directly to the locked page on the Locked Pages thread. Members of this thread keep track of that one, so we will ensure that the changes are made in the Sandbox so that it doesn't get deleted during the next swap.

Again, these changes don't require any approval, but we prefer to keep the entries on the YMMV pages and the locked pages the same in order to avoid any miscommunication or errors between entries, so if you do make the change, we would greatly appreciate it if you could ensure the change is made on the locked page as well.

As a final note, we do not care what other sites have to say regarding whether or not a character counts. We have our own criteria and they have theirs for their CM equivalents; while they are similar, they are not exactly the same and should not be treated as such. Another site removing a character from their equivalent should not be a reason why a cut is proposed here, and if this is the case, it will likely lead to mod intervention.

Other than this, once again, welcome to the cleanup thread, and we look forward to your contributions!

Replying to Ordeaux 26's comment.

"If Takashima was also involved though and looking at his writeup I feel he might outheinous him. Takashima has that as well as planting bombs around the city and I don't see what Ibuchi his to distinguish himself from that. Second place doesn't get him the status."

I'd say Takashima has quite a bit more resources than Ibuchi. He is collaborating with Terada and the Jingweon Mafia, and is a powerful figure in the Omi Alliance, whereas Ibuchi has a few men but is other than that just by himself. Not sure if that changes your vote, I'm not really bothered if it does or not, but I just wanted to share what I think.

Eh I guess I can say Keep thinking about it more, I am saying cut to the other one though, it looks like he is getting cut while the other is staying.

Also I was reminded of this.

  • Worth Dying For: Jacob Duncan runs a rural Nebraska farmer town like a tinpot dictator, along with his brothers Jonas and Jasper and his adopted son Seth. Jacob and his family run a trucking business whose service they force upon every family in town. Anyone who refuses or disagrees with them would find themselves beaten up and their properties ruined by a gang of ex-college football players on the Duncans' payroll. Jacob and his family use this business to smuggle children and others from Asia to the heartland United States and elsewhere for sex trafficking; they are all pedophiles who murder every child they've grown bored with and make a shrine and photographic memento of every corpse—about 60 in all, 2 or 3 every year. Even Reacher, a former MP who's seen all kinds of corpses himself, explicitly admits he regrets having taken a look at the barn where the Jacob and his family hold these shrines.

Could someone who knows Jack Reacher rewrite this to focus on Jacob only?

It's funny: I originally DID try to rewrite it a little to focus on Jacob (that's why there's "and his family"), but I don't know the work enough otherwise.


Also, lemme post this now. Any new ones will still go tomorrow:
  • Parahumans
  • Original series: Vilgax repeatedly invades Earth and endangers entire cities to gain the Omnitrix, even forcing a mutated teenage delinquent to be his slave under threat of killing her if she disobeys. Having tricked Tetrax into helping Vilgax wipe out the former's own race and threatened Ben's cousin Gwen repeatedly, Vilgax tries to saw off Ben's hand and rip the Omnitrix from him, uncaring of the danger of universal annihilation the device presents from such an act.
  • Zs'Skayr, aka Ghostfreak, was the power-hungry High-Ecto Lord of the Ectonurites, but desired dominion over everything. Wanting the Omnitrix's power, Zs'Skayr had his DNA scanned, but his consciousness ended up trapped in the Omnitrix. Upon escaping, he tries to possess Ben and violently abuses the Circus Freak Trio to force them to assist, before possessing Gwen and threatening to kill her while laughing at the thought. Resurrected after his death, Zs'Skayr plunges the Earth into darkness using mutagenic Corrodium radiation, which mutates everyone into nightmarish monsters. Zs'Skayr later betrays Vilgax by infecting Vilgaxia's populace, turning the people into Ectonurite slaves, and intends to spread his influence to the entire universe. Zs'Skayr makes his final return escaping Legerdomain, where he frees his minion Dr. Viktor by devouring the soul of King Xarion, inhabiting his body, then stowing away as a sabotaged ship returns to his star system, where Zs'Skayr resurrects a Vladat called Lord Transyl, planning to use his DNA template to revive the Vladats to serve as his personal army, knowing fully well Vladats fed on and enslaved Viktor's species.
  • "Death and Dreaming" & "The Remnant of Argon": Myndhal is a Barsaebic Ayleid with an obsession over exploiting the Argonian culture. Long ago Myndhal went on a soul-harvesting spree against the Root-Whisper Tribe, taking the souls of many innocent Argonians. In this butchery Myndhal learned of the powerful Remnant of Argon and the power it could give him. To figure out its secrets, Myndhal voluntarily became undead so he could spend the subsequent centuries torturing as many Argonians to death as he could. By the time the PC stops him, the remains of countless victims speckle the dungeon he's found in.
  • Oracle of Ages: Veran, the Sorceress of Shadows, is a particularly sadistic minion of Twinrova. Tasked with spreading suffering through the land of Labrynna to resurrect Ganon, Veran chooses to do so by possessing Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, and going back in time 400 years. After worming her way into Queen Ambi's court, Veran uses her position as her advisor to convert a well-intentioned construction project into a symbol of oppression by having the healthy, able-bodied men of Labrynna forcibly conscripted into performing nonstop back-breaking labor to create the gargantuan Black Tower. While she helps oversee construction, Veran causes chaos around the kingdom with effects that can be felt in the present day, such as turning people to stone or eliminating them entirely; killing the friendly, sapient Maku Tree as a helpless sapling; destroying Symmetry City and its inhabitants with a volcanic eruption; and threatening the lives of all ocean-dwelling beings by poisoning the sea. Both times Link confronts her, Veran is more than happy to use the bodies of those she possesses as human shields, and cheerfully taunts him with the knowledge that killing Link will kill her hosts as well.
  • Twilight Princess: Zant is a maniacal member of the Twili who aligns himself with Ganondorf in exchange for power, before overthrowing Midna and conquering the Twilight Realm, earning the title of "Usurper King". After transforming Midna into an imp and turning the rest of their kind into mindless Shadow Beasts, Zant begins extending his tyrannical reign into Hyrule. There, he executes the Zora queen in front of her people and freezes them all, leaving them to die; invades Hyrule Castle and forces Princess Zelda to surrender in exchange for the lives of her people; envelops Castle Town in Twilight, turning all of its citizens into terrified spirits; and attempts to permanently trap Link in a wolf form and kill Midna by forcing her into the light. When confronted in his palace, Zant calls the duo "traitors", ranting about how he alone deserves the throne before viciously attacking Link in a final battle. Despite being a mere pawn in Ganondorf's scheme, Zant stands out due to his sheer depravity and treacherous nature.
  • Scream 3: Roman Bridger, Sidney's half-brother from when Maureen Prescott was raped during her Hollywood career, is revealed as the instigator of the entire series. Roman decries his birth mother as a whore and stalks her extramarital liaisons in Woodsboro, using the evidence to mastermind the original killing spree in the first movie, leading to Billy killing Maureen and his own friends. Roman grows jealous of Sidney's fame as a survivor and sets out to frame her for his own kills. Roman disguises himself as a low-budget movie director and kills off the Stab 3 movie's crew, while tormenting Sidney with mind games of her traumatic past. Roman also brutally torments and kills Cotton Weary and his girlfriend, Christine Hamilton, simply because Cotton wouldn't tell him were Sidney is. Roman claims to be a tragic victim who is lashing out at the world, but Sidney points out that he's self-deluding and simply enjoys killing people, prompting him to fly into a rage. His sole attempt to connect with Sidney during his death is subverted when seconds later he gets up to try to kill them all again.
  • Scream 4: Jill Roberts, Sidney's cousin, is a deranged Copycat Killer who wipes out her friends in a twisted attempt to become Sidney and hijack her fame. Deciding to make her "own movie" by filming her vicious murders, Jill manipulates her friend, Charlie Walker, into helping. After personally killing two cops, Jill kills her own mother simply to better emulate Sidney's life with a dead mother, purposely making it so Sidney is Forced to Watch so she can further torment Sidney. Killing Charlie when he's no longer of use, in order to be the sole survivor and the center of attention, Jill kills her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Sheldon, in order to frame him for the massacre, and then tries to kill Sidney to complete the status as the new "valiant Ghostface survivor". When Jill realizes that Sidney survived after they've both been taken to the hospital, the former tries one final time to kill Sidney, in a last attempt to secure fame.
  • Dead or Alive: In a Bad Future where Valkyrie's younger sister Alice is brainwashed into becoming the Child of the Faceless Ones, Damocles Creed remains just as cruel as ever, ruling over a totalitarian theocracy where his malevolent worship of the Dark Gods is enforced on a global scale. Having killed around 2,000 with the Activation Wave before finding and indoctrinating the 10-year-old Alice into becoming the fanatically murderous "Malice", Creed exposed magic to the world to create panic and chaos in a brutal, 6-year-long war, before using Malice to summon the Faceless Ones so they could slaughter billions and subject countless alien worlds throughout the universe to their genocidal conquest. Leading their worshippers as the High Exalted One, Creed has the surviving mortals either enslaved to work all forms of grueling industry or reduced to "cattle" whose souls are regularly harvested in mass sacrifices to feed the Dark Gods. Creed has ruled in this manner for 72 years, with blasphemy or even mild remarks of sympathy for "subversives" regarded as capital offenses leading to days-long public torture before the offender's soul is taken for the Faceless Ones to devour.

She proceeds to kill all but two of the clones and beat one of the surviving clones, Nana, before falsely telling her that Gibson never loved any of them. Sensing that the remaining humans have found the final clone, Stella, W★RS orders her enforcers to kill them. She soon kills two defectors, along with their new human allies, and plots the destruction of the Earth just to spite a third defector. Afterwards, she forces another enforcer to kill Stella and Nana, promising her death should she fail or succeed.

As their fight nears its end, W★RS asks Stella to help her conquer another planet and crush its people's wishes so she can rule over them for the rest of time. Cruel and self-centered, White★Rock Shooter would without hesitation or remorse kill anyone who she felt wronged her.

Katsuma created a saner clone called Masaki, which he raised as his son to control him. Katsuma would train Masaki by making him fight Meguro, who would try to kill him, and by implementing the original's brutality in him through Huisheng.

When thousands of refugees from The Great Fire of Rome break into the field of Mars, Tigellinus advocates to push them back by force. Partnering with a hunchback called "The Needy" who scams poor hungry survivors into underselling their properties, Tigellinus comes up with a plan to get even richer: framing the Christian community for the fire so that the duo can seize their properties. Tigellinus pressures Nero into outlawing Christianity and kick-starting the persecutions by having dozens of Christians publicly crucified and burned alive. Tigellinus personally condemns the apostle Peter to be crucified far from his people and crowned with thorns out of pettiness.

Behind a string of break-ins and assaults across the city, the Trawler uses these attacks to select victims for his murders. He stalks and psychologically terrorizes teenage girls by killing their pets before ultimately kidnapping them, at which point the Trawler spends days torturing and mutilating them to death by "remaking" their bodies into hideous chimeras via their own slaughtered pets' corpses. The Trawler then leaves their bodies on display as "art" for the public, inspiring and enlisting the Riders of the Afterlife cult to become "his friends" and commit further torture-murders in his stead. Once Robert dies and the Trawler claims one last victim in LA, he proclaims the city was just his latest spree in a "continuum" he will carry on elsewhere, and before departing he has Bret's beloved lover—and later, his dog—kidnapped, tortured to death, and pictures of the results sent to Bret.

  • Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities:
    • "Lot 36": The previous owner of Lot 36 was an elderly man with a dark secret. Originally a weapons manufacturer for the Nazis who immigrated to America, the owner was also an occultist who made a pact with a demon.

    • "The Autopsy": The "Traveler", the alien parasite contained within the body of Eddie Sykes, is a smug sadist that revels in its cruelty. Arriving on earth as a larva, the parasite infested the body of Sykes and kept him alive and conscious to enjoy his fear as it fed on his blood. Abducting and murdering numerous people, the alien soon risked discovery and triggered an explosion in a mine that killed 9 people. Preserving two victims to slowly drain them of blood, the alien prepared to be "rescued" and brought to the morgue. Upon being autopsied by mortician Carl Winters, the alien subdues him and autopsies itself, with Eddie Sykes feeling every bit of pain. Plotting to take Carl's body, the Traveler coldly vows to force Carl to experience every bit of agony as Eddie did, starting with devouring his close friend, Sheriff Nathan Craven.
  • "LJND": Fred Wozniak, aka "LJND", is the hidden antagonist responsible all the suspicious "suicides" throughout Season 4. Formerly a low-level pretty criminal, everything changed upon Fred discovering Tim Whitman and his growing support group for people who suffered near-death experiences. Seeing an opportunity, Fred murdered Tim and stole his identity, using his skills to build Surmount into a major organisation that he ran secretly ran akin to a cult. Not content with all the legitimate money he was making, Fred themed the Surmounts philosophy around persuading his indoctrinated followers to recreate their near-death experience, convincing them it was the only way to overcome their trauma, ensuring this time they actually died so he could pocket their money. His actions resulted in 7 deaths, with methods ranging from poison to exsanguination. Upon Blake Zaler refusing to comply, Fred simply strangled him and framed his death as another suicide. Foiled in his attempt to drown Cassidy James by her ex-husband Detective McAvoy, Fred attempted to make Cassidy stab him to death.
  • SayMaxWell's "Not The End": The Murderer is a depraved, smug Serial Killer who uses his job at Freddy's to commit heinous acts. Having murdered several children, the murderer boasts about his crimes while implying that he framed another employee. Reprogramming the animatronics for malevolent purposes, the murderer eventually destroys them, and when confronted by the dead children, pathetically tries to convince them he meant no harm. Even when crushed to death in an animatronic suit, the murderer is unrepentant, announcing that he will soon return, and gloating that he'll get the last laugh.
  • Issues #1-6—"Slaves of the Republic" arc: The Keeper of the Kavado mining facility is a smug Zygerrian tasked with breaking their slaves, the latest being the population of planet Kiros. Tasked with breaking the will of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Keeper drops few of them into the lava to show Kenobi the consequences of disobedience.

  • Transformers: Galaxy Force: In the original sub version of the anime, Starscream lacks his dub counterpart's more pragmatic qualities and noble past. A seeker of godhood for power in itself, Starscream plays the part of a loyal servant to Master Megatron only long enough for him to trap Master Megatron and the rest of their Destron allies in a bubble to float through space, while in the meantime Starscream resurrects a new army of Destrons to invade Earth and cause worldwide devastation. Using the Omega Lock to drain the power of Primus—uncaring that such power is the only thing standing between the universe and total annihilation—Starscream nearly destroys the entire Earth in a test of his powers. Willing to destroy Primus himself if it grants an edge in battle, Starscream orders Hop be mind raped of his memories; regularly threatens Chromia and Noisemaze with death to maintain their loyalty; opens fire on a group of human children to distract his foes; and uses his last moments in the series to taunt and goad Master Galvatron on in his plans to tear the galaxy apart.
  • Starscream is the ambitious and power-hungry lieutenant of the Decepticons, and shows himself to be the evilest member of Megatron's inner circle. A treacherous schemer who took over the Decepticons when Megatron disappeared on Earth, Starscream tricks a group of human astronauts into attacking the Autobots so they will be killed in the firefight and their information on Megatron's whereabouts silenced. When the moral Autobots avoid claiming the humans' lives, Starscream just murders the entire crew himself. Later staging the initial invasion of Earth in his quest for the All-Spark, Starscream has the likes of Blackout, Scorponok, and Barricade wreak havoc across the globe and murder hundreds of humans. After Megatron's revival, Starscream begrudgingly assists him in trying to wipe out humanity with the All-Spark, and aligns himself with the Fallen to destroy Earth's sun, during which Starscream takes Sam Witwicky's parents hostage to achieve their plans. In between these atrocities, Starscream tries to flood Zambia and kill millions; devastates Rome to draw out the Autobots; and brutally murders his human ally Bruno Carrera in petty rage. Ultimately working with Sentinel Prime to enslave and decimate humankind, Starscream plays a key role in the takeover of Chicago and massacres any soldiers attempting to infiltrate the city, culminating his sadistic ways in toying with and trying to murder Sam and his girlfriend Carly Brooks-Spencer.
  • Twilight's Last Gleaming: Megatron is the leader of the Decepticons who defeated the Autobots in the Battle of Mission City, gained possession of the AllSpark, and captured Optimus Prime to keep him frozen alive. After assimilating with the AllSpark, Megatron intended to use its power to cyberform the Earth and wipe out all of humanity, while destroying any and all Autobots who get in his way. A gloating sadist, Megatron does not like to finish his opponents off quickly, as evidenced by when he tried to torture Bumblebee until he begs for mercy and later slowly beating Optimus Prime to death despite being more than powerful enough to take him out quickly. When the AllSpark became unstable and seemingly killed him, Megatron downloaded his consciousness into an interface module so he can enter Starscream's mind. During his time there, Megatron helped Starscream with a plan to use the mind-controlled President Allen to drive the Autobots off of the planet and destroy them with a nuke as they left, leaving humanity defenseless against any Decepticon attacks. Eventually, Megatron convinces Starscream to resurrect him so he can kill their enemies and conquer the Earth for himself.
  • Meltdown, originally Prometheus Black, is a human scientist who ends up mutated by his own experiments. He tries to kill his rival, Isaac Sumdac, in a fit of rage whilst blaming him for all his problems, including his self-inflicted transformation. Later, Meltdown becomes so obsessed with creating a human Transformer that he not only mutates at least two innocent humans—one of them his own lawyer—into gruesome hybrids combined with animal parts; he also spitefully decides to kidnap Sumdac's innocent 8-year-old daughter as his newest test subject, intending to experiment on children in general now. When Blackarachnia breaks him out of jail in exchange for him eliminating her organic half, Meltdown double-crosses her and gleefully tries to destroy her Transformer half—a deed which, if not destroying her soul completely, would have left her with a completely organic body she's disgusted with. Meltdown also forces the Dinobots to work for him by painfully burning them with his acidic touch until they follow his commands: he hurts them so badly that they become willing to turn on Bulkhead and Prowl, their only friends among the main cast, just to stay in Meltdown's good graces.

With nothing but hatred for his children and the other gods, Cronus is utterly brutal and merciless in his tactics, which include torturing and trying to kill his own children while throwing the world into chaos and disarray. Cronus eventually gets tired of the human heroes resisting him and makes it a point to attempt to exterminate the entire human race in retribution. At other points, Cronus releases the savage werewolf Lycaon from imprisonment to eat "whomever he may please" and tries to get his mother Gaea to kill Zeus for him.

Big Jack Horner's entry on YMMV.Puss In Boots The Last Wish got an added line on this edit

  • Complete Monster: "Big" Jack Horner is a childishly sadistic pie factory owner and crime boss who dreams of achieving the power of the Wishing Star so that he can use all the world's magic to make himself ruler. Once a young entertainer before turning to crime out of jealousy, Jack is a collector of various magical objects he stole, including baby unicorn horns. Hiring the Serpent Sisters to retrieve for him the map to the Wishing Star, while uninterested in the number of people they had to kill to acquire it, Jack uses the Midas Touch to turn one of them into gold after growing annoyed with them. Packing up his belongings and bringing his Baker's Dozen to chase after Puss and Kitty after they steal the map, Jack relentlessly and carelessly sacrifices all of his men on his journey to the Star, even acting apathetic when he accidentally kills some during a firefight. Ultimately reveling in his villainy, Jack passes off any attempts at redemption or kindness to achieve his goals, remaining one of the cruelest people encountered by Puss and friends. Against the movie's message of appreciating life, he represents people who seek meaningless things for selfish needs, which eventually leads to their downfall.

As concerns Pardis:

His wife is a backstory character. Years ago Pardis tried to execute one of his daughters (Elrica) but Ulrica offered her own life instead, committing suicide to prove it. Pardis was impressed by her determination and spares Elrica.

...for all of few years. If sparing Elrica was for his wife's sake, well, it certainly doesn't stop him from remorselessly killing Elrica later anyway and forcing the heroes to watch. Beyond that, I recall nothing that indicates he ever actually loved his wife or that he regrets her suicide in any manner.

Found a quote I think is good

"What say you, Empress of Praes?
Here you lie upon the blood-soaked ruins of your dominion, surrounded by the corpses of the legions that once swarmed over the world. Hundreds of thousands dead for the sake of your wretched ambition, your mad design to bring to heel the kingdoms of man. In all the history of Creation no one woman has been so wicked as you, and I will have my answer.
Why, o Empress of Ruins?"
She shrugged.

Got two possible quotes from How to Train Your Dragon?

"For the story we have been a part of, it turns out has not just been about the making of a hero but also about the making of a villain. The Alvin we first met many books and years ago was not the same terrible man who was now about to be crowned upon the castle that once was Flashburn's. When first we met him, he was a charming, sneaking elegant sort of fellow, barely able to hold his own in a swordfight. Since then, dreadful things have happened to Alvin, all his own fault of course, but he has suffered nonetheless. Suffering can in fact make a man a better person but with Alvin it went the other way and it had made him far far worse. With every ghastly experience, he lost a little more of his humanity, along with his hair, his leg, his nose, his eye... and now he stands muscled, harderned, brutal and merciless. A truly awful man indeed to wield the power he would hold from now on."

"And now... put this slave boy and his father into chains and throw them to the UgliThug slave lands, never to return. Put the mark upon the father too, as a sign of how he betrayed his own people. Friends, barbarians and vikings, let me tell you what king I am going to be! I have not come to set your dragons free. Are we to just sit back and let them destroy our world? I say no and again no. From now on, I declare war of the most dreadful and bloody kind on all wild dragons. All wild dragons must be killed on sight! With our North Bows and our axes and the most fanciful instruments of human ingeniunity, we will seek out their nests, set fire to their habitats, destroy their eggs and their hibernating young! And as for the domestic dragons... dangerous times call for drastic measures. All domestic dragons shall be chained at all times unless they are doing a job for a human. They shall spend their nights in cages. Any hint of rebellion and they will be killed on the spot."

I like the quotes and I'm good for Pardis on that note.

I'd like to touch up my own de Villiers writeup.

From:

  • Archbishop de Villiers is the General Secretary of the extremist Church of Terra who uses the organization for personal power. As the Church's second-in-command, de Villiers assists with indoctrinating members using drugs and brainwashing to lead them to becoming suicidal in their devotion to the Church, and helps manipulate and further bloody the war between the Galactic Empire and Free Planets Alliance to weaken both. Taking absolute power with the death of the Grand Bishop and brainwashing a man into taking up the mantle as his puppet, de Villiers orders multiple horrific terrorist attacks, determined to maintain power no matter how many billions have to die or suffer.
