The Executioner
“He who brings death, he who brings retribution to the world. The Executioner is the ultimate punisher, the one who criminals shall fear into the long night.”
The Executioner is justice incarnate, whether that be fair or otherwise. Fair trial and bloody revenge hold the same merit and praise in His church. It’s wilful to bring forth your anger and channel it into delivering due penance where necessary, as it is to be civil in rare cases it arises.
Faithful to the Executioner are said to embody violent torrents on the battlefield, radical warriors of immeasurable zeal and a penchant for death wherever they’re called.
