He lacks a good conscience. He has trouble feeling guilt. He's been known to enjoy torture. He has spikes of rage that result in death or injury more times than not. He appears to care for no one but himself. He, however, is not above manipulating people into thinking he has the capacity to. As a person he is dangerous. As an immortal he is unstoppable. And now that he has inherited the authority to control the world he is untouchable. She shouldn't have the ability to change that. For her sake she shouldn't try. Because some men were never meant to feel human emotion. Passion, seduction, lust, love, possessiveness. Men like him aren't meant to be capable of any of it. This is his story. As told by Alejo.
