Subpages cleanup: Complete Monster

Go To

During the investigation of recent hollers in the Complete Monster thread, it's become apparent to the staff that an insular, unfriendly culture has evolved in the Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads that is causing problems.

Specific issues include:

  • Overzealous hollers on tropers who come into the threads without being familiar with all the rules and traditions of the tropes. And when they are familiar with said rules and traditions, they get accused (with little evidence) of being ban evaders.
  • A few tropers in the thread habitually engage in snotty, impolite mini-modding. There are also regular complaints about excessive, offtopic "socializing" posts.
  • Many many thread regulars barely post/edit anywhere else, making the threads look like they are divorced from the rest of TV Tropes.
  • Following that, there are often complaints about the threads and their regulars violating wiki rules, such as on indexing, crosswicking, example context and example categorization. Some folks are working on resolving the issues, but...
  • Often moderator action against thread regulars leads to a lot of participants suddenly showing up in the moderation threads to protest and speak on their behalf, like a clique.

It is not a super high level problem, but it has been going on for years and we cannot ignore it any longer. There will be a thread in Wiki Talk to discuss the problem; in the meantime there is a moratorium on further Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard example discussion until we have gotten this sorted out.

Update: The new threads have been made and can be found here:

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions and Common Requests List before suggesting any new entries for this trope.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a holler to the mods, please see here for the earliest date a work can be discussed, (usually two weeks from the US release), as well as who's reserved discussion.

When voting, you must specify the candidate(s). No blanket votes (i.e. "[tup] to everyone I missed").

No plagiarism: It's fair to source things, but an effortpost must be your own work and not lifted wholesale from another source.

We don't care what other sites think about a character being a Complete Monster. We judge this trope by our own criteria. Repeatedly attempting to bring up other sites will earn a suspension.

What is the Work

Here you briefly describe the work in question and explain any important setting details. Don't assume that everyone is familiar with the work in question.

Who is the Candidate and What have they Done?

This will be the main portion of the Effort Post. Here you list all of the crimes committed by the candidate. For candidates with longer rap sheets, keep the list to their most important and heinous crimes, we don't need to hear about every time they decide to do something minor or petty.

Do they have any Mitigating Factors or Freudian Excuse?

Here you discuss any potential redeeming or sympathetic features the character has, the character's Freudian Excuse if they have one, as well as any other potential mitigating factors like Offscreen Villainy or questions of moral agency. Try to present these as objectively as possible by presenting any evidence that may support or refute the mitigating factors.

Do they meet the Heinousness Standard?

Here you compare the actions of the Candidate to other character actions in the story in order to determine if they stand out or not. Remember that all characters, not just other villains, contribute to the Heinousness Standard

Final Verdict?

Simply state whether or not you think the character counts or not.

  • "The Cossack", from the April 1985 issue ("The Sight Stealer"), is a former Russian intelligence agent who betrayed his masters and went freelance. He got his hands on an East German defector's weapon which causes blindness. After testing this weapon, he tries to kill Black Widow—who was blinded by the weapon—by tossing her out her window. She is saved by Daredevil, and tells him the Cossack's backstory. The Cossack demands $15 million in gems, and when the Mayor of New York refuses, the former plans to amplify the device, blinding airline pilots and air traffic control and causing "many crashes. Many deaths." He is about to activate the device before Daredevil manages to stop him.

Welcome to the thread, Phantom. I took the liberty of sending you a brief message of where to look for resources on how this thread operates. If you would like any recommendations for works to examine for this thread, please PM me or any other troper. If you plan on consuming a work which has been released over more than two weeks prior, feel free to add your name to the CM To Do Lists along with any works you plan to examine.

Edit: Also, as Drax says below, be careful to read each effortpost before you vote. Personally, I only vote on the most recent candidates.

Phantom, the 2 most important rules to make sure you don't get mod-thumped:

  • Make sure you follow the 2-week rule.
  • Make sure nobody's claimed the work you want to do an effortpost for.

Yes to Crepitus and here's another entry of Koala's I think could use a revamp:

Current:

  • Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Froid, originally a friendly rival of Rung's, destroyed their friendship when he plagiarized his work and damaged his reputation. Later in his career, he assisted in the capture of a Serial Killer named Sunder, along with his accomplice and brother Spectre. However, while on a prison ship taking the brothers to Garrus 6, the brothers pulled a successful escape, with Froid as their hostage, though Spectre was killed as a result. After the escape, Froid offered Sunder a perverse offer: in return for Sunder serving as a subject for him to study, Froid would help him cope with the death of his brother and supply him with victims. After convincing Sunder he needed to see his victims in order to feed on them, Froid removed Sunder's eyes to inhibit his appetite. Held up on the planet Scarvix, Froid becomes rich and famous due to Sunder's abilities to read memories without a patient knowing, all while handing innocence Cybertonians to the madman. After coming across the Lost Light, Froid boarded the ship, looking for new victims for Sunder. After reuniting with Rung, he attempted to blackmail his one-time friend into giving him Rung's patient files. When Rung refused, he decided to feed him to Sunder, giving the Serial Killer his eyes as Skids to rushed in to warn Rung. In order to escape, Froid opened Sunder's cell, setting him free upon the Lost Light as he attempted to retreat.

Mine:

  • Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Froid is a former rival of Rung's who graduates to pure evil with his deal with the Serial Killer Sunder, whom Froid offers to provide victims in return for being a test subject for Froid's experiments. Using Sunder to become wealthy and affluent through the latter's ability to read the memories of Froid's patients, Froid secretly gives innocent Cybertronians to Sunder for him to kill. Boarding the Lost Light, Froid boards the ship to seek new victims for Sunder and tries to blackmail Rung into giving Froid his patient files, releasing Sunder upon him as a distraction to escape when Rung refuses.

Yay? Nay?

  • F-Zero: Legend of Falcon: Black Shadow is the ruler of Dark Million, and the always-grinning chessmaster behind every single bad event in the series. Black Shadow, atop facilitating general terrorism and abusing underlings as a course of habit, has gone to every length imaginable to prevent Ryu Suzaku from stopping him. Black Shadow creates the homicidal criminal Zoda and sends him off to homicidal rampages—at one point powering up Zoda to annihilate all of Mute City—and kidnaps Ryu's girlfriend Haruka to brainwash her into his pet assassin, Miss Killer, trying to use her to kill her own boyfriend. Black Shadow carbonizes Miss Killer when she finally breaks free of Black Shadow's spell, and gleefully torments Ryu with her petrified body. Black Shadow, in the finale, reveals his glorious dream that his every waking moment has been dedicated to: Using his Dark Matter Reactor, Black Shadow throws the entire galaxy into death and destruction, to precede him creating a new Big Bang to annihilate the old universe and create a new one of pure evil on top of it.
  • Travelogue of the Succubus, by Junji Ito: Aido Kagerou is the leader of Indigo Shadow, who seeks to gain access to all of the information in the universe. To accomplish this goal, Aido has Byakuya Kyouko kidnapped to use as a medium to meditate through, and has all of his followers meditate. When his followers die, Aido is indifferent and simply performs a new ritual later, this time having everyone who ever met Byakuya sacrificed to the God of the Dark Beyond. When Aido travels back in time, he tries to have a Christian missionary named Miguel and his followers executed by having them pushed into a volcano, revealing to Miguel that he plans on killing Byakuya to become God.
  • Key of Z, written by Claudio Sanchez & Chondra Echert: Yankee Lavoe is the selfish ruler of the Bronx after the Zombie Apocalypse.

Finding a map to an armory after torturing Nick, Lavoe imprisons Nick and sets out to wage war against the entire city. Caught in a gang war with Jackson Met, Lavoe shoots one of his men to bait some zombies and tries to kill Nick and Eddie for making a getaway.
  • Hospitality (archive): Hansel & Gretel are a far cry from the heroic kids in the original tale. A pair of adult siblings and serial killers, Hansel & Gretel had already shown sociopathic tendencies before starting their killing spree, pelting animals with rocks or trapping them inside holes and leaving them for dead. Trying to escape their poor upbringing, the siblings decided to kill wealthy old women for their money. Having killed and cut to pieces already 11 women and their own grandmother by the time the story starts, they wander around a forest, with Gretel wondering whether or not she should kill her own brother. Upon reaching an old woman's house, Hansel & Gretel attempt to kill her for her golden necklace. When their riches are stolen, the villainous siblings blame and attempt to kill each other. When the old woman trapped them and turns out to be a witch, Hansel attempts to sell out Gretel so that he could escape with his life. Despite their poor background, these siblings prove to be irredeemable, greedy beings.
  • Dawnguard DLC: Lord Harkon is the Vampire Monarch ruling over Clan Volkihar, and the father of Serana. Harkon is a pure-blooded vampire, a distinction he gained through a zealous devotion to Molag Bal, which included turning over his own daughter to be violated by the Daedric Prince in a ritual to make her a vampire. Harkon even thinks nothing later of sacrificing Serana's life to fulfill a dark prophecy to blot out Nirn's sun, allowing vampirekind to overwhelm the mortal races. His arrogant lunacy turning away even his wife, who takes Serana far away from Harkon's clutches, Harkon satiates himself for centuries afterward feeding on the blood of innocents as he works to fulfill the prophecy, allowing his vampires to feed on a menagerie of suffering, still-living slaves and even ordering the culling of other "lesser" vampires should the Dragonborn elect to join him.
  • Bad Boys: Fouchet is a ruthless French gangster and drug dealer who steals millions of dollars worth of heroin from a police evidence locker by killing one of his own men whom he had dress as an officer as a distraction. When one of his contacts uses a portion of the stash to party with prostitutes, Fouchet has both the man and one of the women killed out of irritation. Making many attempts on the lives of Miami PD officers Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey and those close to them, Fouchet also has his chemistry team killed for delaying his schedule. When finally caught by the protagonists, Fouchet tries to force Mike to kill him, before making one final attempt on Mike's life out of spite when this fails.
  • A Long Ride from Hell (1968): Bill Savage is the aptly named warden of Yuma Penitentiary, the so called "Hell on the hill". Savage runs Yuma as a slave camp, merrily torturing the prisoners—innocent or otherwise—at every given opportunity and giving the guards free right to do likewise. When Mike Sturges and his helpless younger brother Ray arrive in Yuma, Savage tortures Ray into insanity before killing him, and pledges to Mike's face that he'll break like his brother. Savage's atrocity escapes even Yuma when he attempts to rape a prostitute friend of Mike's on a violent whim.
  • Conspiracy in Death: Dr. Michael Waverly, the head of the AMA (American Medical Association), murdered one of his fellow doctors to ensure that his lifesaving organ transplant system for the poor could not be implemented. Viewing himself as a god, Waverly experiments on the homeless for his new organ repair research before killing them by cutting out said organ; in one case, the woman was butchered to the point of bleeding to death. When the police begin to investigate, Waverly threatens the lives of the pregnant wife and five-year-old son of one of the policemen, and when Eve is sent to investigate, arranges to have her mentally destroyed by framing her for the murder of a rival of hers, who he killed by breaking every single bone in the victim's body. When Eve gets close to the truth, Waverly starts to kill off anyone who could implicate him, including planning to off the wife of one of his friends before declaring his intent to take over the organ transplant system and allow him to purge the world of the poor and downtrodden, who he views as "scum".
  • New York to Dallas: Isaac McQueen, aka the Collector, is a pedophile responsible for the torture—including tattooing a heart with each victim's number on each victim's chest—and rape of over 25 girls and teenagers ages 12 to 15—his "bad girls"—as well as the possible murder of 4 of them, in New York alone, and the torture, rape, and possible selling of others prior. McQueen also works with older women—"Mommy" figures, similar to his own abusive mom who was his first partner and who he killed when he was 19—seducing them and slashing their throat with a knife when they are of no more value to him. Escaping from prison, McQueen murders a medic and later assaults and rapes a woman as well to get Eve's attention, wanting revenge on her for putting him away a dozen years prior. Teaming up with Eve's mother, McQueen kidnaps a young teenager named Darlie Morgansten, raping her and forcing her to scream for Eve's help; he then murders Eve's mother—who didn't recognize Eve—for getting caught. McQueen later attacks Eve, planning to rape and kill her.
  • Thankless in Death: Jerald "Jerry" Reinhold snaps one day and brutally kills both his parents when they threaten to kick him out of their apartment. Jerry next kills his ex-girlfriend, and then tortures and kills a former teacher—after injuring her dog. Jerry makes a "Shit List" of anyone who he views to have even slightly offended him, intending to subject them to torture, rape and gruesome murders. He plans to eventually rent out his murder talents for any paying customers after he's finished his "Shit List". Jerry next brutally tortures and tries to kill his best friend. A complete egotist who refuses to accept any responsibility for anything he's done, Jerry is completely happy to bask in the wave of attention his murders receive.
  • Messenger, by Edward Lee: Aldezhor the Messenger is a Fallen Angel tasked with spreading the Devil's message of "atrocity [and] abomination" on Earth. Corrupting and possessing those who come into contact with his cursed bell striker, Aldezhor uses them to commit horrifying acts of rape, torture, and murder before having them kill themselves. Aldezhor prefers to use postal workers as hosts out of a sadistic sense of irony, and after breaking a post office manager with sickening images of his daughter in Hell, he uses the man to spread his influence to others. Through various hosts, Aldezhor massacres scores of people in a series of savage mass murders, leaving his symbol written in blood at each crime scene. Lusting after the heroine Jane, Aldezhor desires to rape her once on Earth and forever in Hell, hoping to use her lover's body to rape and kill her in front of her children before murdering them as well.
  • ER:
    • Jack Miller, from season 4, is a young Serial Rapist who preys on elderly women, who he brutally beats before sexually assaulting them, afterward using a marker to brand the victims with the word "WHORE". Jack's first known victim is 67-year-old Mrs. Larkin, with the second being a dementia sufferer named Ann. The third victim dies from her injuries, while the fourth one—who had "WHORE" carved directly into her flesh—nearly dies from wounds sustained from being strangled and thrown down a flight of stairs while trying to fight off Jack. Jack guns down a security guard who had interrupted his attack on the fourth victim, and is finally arrested after being shot during a standoff with the Chicago PD.
    • Dean Rollins, from season 6, initially appears to just be a run-of-the-mill accident victim, but is soon discovered to be a vicious Serial Killer. While being treated for life-threatening injuries, Dean is forced by Doctor Lizzie Corday to reveal the whereabouts of his latest victim, Sandra. Sandra, who was raped and stabbed, dies while being treated at Cook County, with Dean proceeding to mock Lizzie over how his confession being coerced means that it had to be thrown out by the DA. He goes on to demean Lizzie by getting her to say that she cares about him "as a woman" in exchange for agreeing to undergo a lifesaving surgery, and later has her bring him Lindsey, the sister of a victim named Jenny, by falsely promising to reveal the whereabouts of Jenny's remains to Lindsey. He feigns sympathy for Lindsey, and then taunts her by saying, "If only I'd met you... I could've had you instead!" Eventually growing weary of being bedridden and largely powerless as he awaits his trial, Dean tries one final time to exercise control over Lizzie by attempting to coerce her into breaking her Hippocratic Oath by euthanizing him in exchange for information about Jenny.
    • Derek Fossen, from season 7's "Where the Heart Is" and "Rampage", is a temperamental man who once beat his girlfriend, and is now abusing his young son, Ben. After Ben is taken by social services at the behest of Doctor Mark Greene, Derek snaps and goes on a shooting rampage through Chicago in search of his son, while also attacking everyone who he blames for him losing custody of Ben. Derek shoots up a foster care facility full of children, guns a man down for his car, and opens fire on his neighbor and her son before running over a member of the Chicago PD. Derek makes a failed bid to murder Mark's family and shoots five more people before being wounded by a bystander and taken to Cook County, where he is allowed to die from his injuries by an enraged Mark.
    • Steve Curtis, introduced in season 10's "Where There's Smoke", is the ex-boyfriend of Nurse Samantha Taggart, and the father of her son, Alex. An unreliable deadbeat, Steve nevertheless becomes obsessed with re-inserting himself into Sam and Alex's lives, and after being arrested for armed robbery, he concocts an escape plan with another prisoner named Rafe Hendricks, and an EMT named Mary. Steve and Rafe fake a fight that gets them brought to Cook County, where they grab Sam after being freed by Mary. When the getaway goes awry, Steve and Rafe shoot up the hospital, injuring and possibly killing numerous people, before taking off with Sam and a kidnapped Alex. On the way to Canada, Steve guns down Rafe and Mary. Afterward, Steve implies that he is willing to kill Sam, Alex, and himself rather than see them all be separated again, right before he rapes Sam.
  • Dr. Martin Brenner note , the director of Hawkins National Laboratory, is the personification of human evil in the franchise. An ice-cold Mad Scientist with superficial regard to the lives of others, be it his test subjects or his own scientists, Brenner initially experiments on psychic college students in 1969. Brenner becomes more controlling and sadistic as time goes on, vowing to break one named Terry Ives and at one point pulling strings to have Terry's draft dodger boyfriend shipped off and killed in action in Vietnam. Brenner redirects his experiments to child subjects, taking Terry's child for his own and reducing Terry to a semiconscious vegetable through electroshock therapy. Brenner dubs Terry's child "Eleven," and exposes her and several other psychic children to more strenuous experiments, with no regard to their psychological health or even whether they live or die. Brenner's reckless experiments are responsible for unleashing the Demogorgon onto Hawkins in the first place, all of its carnage a byproduct as Brenner's complete and utter detachment from all human life.
  • Ultraviolet (2017):
    • Krzysztof "Elias" Górski, from season 1's "#elias", is the leader of a Breeding Cult containing girls, much of whom were kidnapped as children by Elias, who he imprisoned in his farm to rape and brainwash for years; one of those girls was Maja Braska, who Elias kept as his Sex Slave for 20 years.

She also tries to have one pair burn themselves alive, only for her to attempt to burn them herself when they refuse to do so.
    • Lukasz Rolak, from season 1's "#hycell" and "#strangeland", is the infamous "Hycel", a sadist who has kidnapped and raped numerous men before hunting them down in a forest where he would then decapitate them. When one of his victims managed to escape, Rolak would frame Zenon Nowak, an innocent man, for the murders while Rolak would get away with his crimes. When Rolak learns that Ultraviolet has proven Nowak's innocence 20 years later, Rolak goes on a killing spree once more and tries to kill Ola Serafin by slicing her throat before stabbing Michał Holender when he tries to save her.
  • Watchmen (2019):
    • Senator Joseph "Joe" Keene Jr. is the true leader of the Cyclops splinter cell known as the Seventh Kavalry, using his position as an Oklahoma politician to mask his terrorist activities. Organizing the Seventh Kavalry and using them to perpetrate the White Night—a massacre of off-duty police officers and their families on Christmas night—Keene gets dozens of Tulsa police killed just so he can institute a new law to protect cops and make himself look good. After discovering the presence of Dr. Manhattan, Keene has the Kavalry commit a variety of other murders and bombings, threatening the entire family of Angela Abar along the way, before capturing Manhattan and revealing his plans to drain the man's life force and powers to become a god and rewrite reality to one where white men reign supreme just to satisfy his racist, egomaniacal agenda.
    • In "This Extraordinary Being", Fred T.—all but stated to be Fred Trump, father of Donald—is the secret leader of Cyclops, a division of the Ku Klux Klan and the Predecessor Villain to the Seventh Kavalry. Fred gleefully abuses his status to set fire to a Jewish deli and walk free of the consequences, and is furthermore revealed to be using his factory as a base for the manufacturing of films laced with subliminal messaging that drive black people into homicidal rages. Fred intends to have these films shipped all over the country, with only one showing resulting in a theater full of people tearing each other apart.
  • "The Cossack", from the April 1985 issue ("The Sight Stealer"), is a former Russian intelligence agent who betrayed his masters and went freelance. He got his hands on an East German defector's weapon which causes blindness. After testing this weapon, he tries to kill Black Widow—who was blinded by the weapon—by tossing her out her window. She is saved by Daredevil, and tells him the Cossack's backstory. The Cossack demands $15 million in gems, and when the Mayor of New York refuses, the former plans to amplify the device, blinding airline pilots and air traffic control and causing "many crashes. Many deaths." He is about to activate the device before Daredevil manages to stop him.
  • RWBY: Grimm Eclipse: Dr. Merlot is a Grimm-obsessed scientist who founds Merlot Industries to conduct experiments on them, seeking to attract more when he ran out of subjects and having the Grimm attracted to a nearby city to work around his problem, resulting in the population being overrun and slaughtered. Moving to a remote island, Merlot creates a stronger version of the Grimm, which he releases into nearby areas where they may attack and kill as they please. Attempting to kill off Team RWBY when they come to investigate his island, when they defeat his ultimate creation, a spiteful Merlot sets his laboratory to self-destruct with all of them inside.
  • Fear FM: Prakash's father is the instigator for everything that happens in the series. A pedophile primary school teacher who would frequently molest his students, he was found out by his wife and banished from his town. Frequenting multiple slums for victims, he was caught raping a little boy and beaten to a pulp. Blaming his ex-wife for ruining his life, he sought out sorceress Rudra Devi to awaken the Dakin to murder his ex-wife, gleefully hanging himself to complete the summoning. Even after his death, the Dakin, still loose, turns Rudra into the Lal Chudail, which led to her killing children and countless others to return herself back to normal.

The Unquiet Grave
  • Lord Silas Ruthven is the uncle of Carmilla Karnstein and a wicked, vampiric sorcerer who once studied by the side of Eliphas Coyte. Ruthven has empowered himself off the cruel death of thousands throughout the ages, with a special predilection for destroying everything his victims value to make them utterly his. Ruthven even repeats this to put Carmilla under his heel, forcibly turning her into a vampire and making her kill innocent people, even starving her until she turns on the ones she loves. A former worshipper of the Scarlet Saint-—an embodiment of Hardestadt Delac—Ruthven orchestrates the grisly Jack the Ripper murders to distract from his own feedings, while also harnessing the power of a City-beast named the Nocturne to enthrall more innocents to their doom. Ultimately seeking not to become a god but to create his own, Ruthven attempts to use a dark ritual to twist all of London's population into a writhing, agonized web of flesh through which he'll channel the energy to forcibly twist Hardestadt into the Scarlet Saint. Through the Saint, Ruthven intends on nothing less than to plunge the world into a hellscape reveling in violence and terror.
The Wolves of War
  • Reinhard Heydrich himself is the primary orchestrator and face of the Nazi regime, making his mark as far worse than the likes of his superiors. A stout believer in Aryan supremacy and his own perfection, Heydrich regards all others in the world—namely Jews—as filth needing to be eradicated, and commits mass extermination of them in a variety of ways, from hangings to passing them onto Josef Mengele to be experimented on, notably having any and all captured creatures be tortured into brainwashed soldiers. Heydrich oversees the incorporation of the "slag-fathers" in prison camps across Germany, having countless innocent people thrown to the City-beasts to be violated and butchered in the name of resource expansion, and also has the minds of dozens of Seers harvested and put into perpetual agony to boost Nazi power, and later casually murders his own son just to prove a point. Himself a Seer, Heydrich plans to ascend to godhood using the corpses of countless people worldwide, shattering the minds of any and every living thing until the whole world is under a Reich of Heydrich's design.
  • SS Gruppenfuhrer Dietrich Boehmer is a battle-loving Nazi with connections to the City of Never. Partnering with the Consultant, disguising her as his wife Helga, Boehmer orders camps to be filled with slag-pits, feeding the slag-beasts Jewish captives and Nazis who failed him. Seeking to turn the world into his very own Fourth Reich, Boehmer has hundreds of women raped to breed slag-beasts who die upon childbirth, while also contaminating water supplies in numerous villages with a substance that causes the beasts to grow inside people. Planning to backstab Heydrich after serving him, Boehmer later on participates in Heydrich's plan to unleash a psychic bomb on Sicily, infecting Eliza's camp with the slag-beast substance, and personally murdering 378 soldiers with his own bare hands. Finally having enough, Boehmer is revealed to have infected every Jewish prisoner and every member of the German army with his substance, planning to infect the entire world, have billions murdered, and rule over what's left.
  • Josef Mengele is a Nazi scientist with an important role in Heydrich's conspiracy, forming a Seer network to combine their mental abilities, doing so by extracting their brains, leaving them alive in agony. He performs cruel experiments on humans and inhumans alike, being introduced showing off various creatures either dead or in agony, later torturing them into submission, while also freeing a group of naked prisoners to be fed to the ravenous beasts. Getting sent to Auschwitz to experiment with the brains of Seers, Mengele has test subjects injected with the cranial fluids, which causes them to shake, bleed, and die, and then kills hundreds of people with a psychic blast, all while sending people not fit for experimentation to be gassed. After Heydrich's death, he flees Germany, still proud of his atrocities, and disappointed he could not commit more.
