	~~<span style=~~"~~color:maroon;~~">		The Beast hates. It ravens in the breast of even the most civilized Cainites, urging them to commit crimes born on the blackest human passions. why resist that siren call of hatred? The world is a loathsome place. the wealthy and the "noble" oppress the poor and the "common," the allegedly holy engage in acts that would make a demon blanch in revulsion, and everywhere, there are sickening perversions of the soul twisting the world into a shadow play of horrors. What is there to love about the world? Hate it, and set your soul free.

	~~<span style="color:maroon;">~~		The followers of the Path of Cruelty know their Beasts to be creatures of malice and spite, filled with loathing not only for all things righteous and pure, but all things base and profane as well. The Beast looks upon the world with eyes hot with disgust for both its fellow men and its fellow monsters, seeing nothing in either extreme, or in anything that falls between, so perfect or so virtuous that it does not deserve to suffer. To feed the tame such a Beast, the followers of this path provide it a feast of torments perpetrated against those it most despises.

	~~<span style="color:maroon;">~~ ''~~'Sobriquet:'~~''		Of all the Paths of Sin, the Path of Cruelty is the most bluntly inhumane in its opinions and its dealing with others. While the adherents of the Path of Pleasure, the Path of the Devil and even the Path of Screams can have deliberate or incidental positive effects on others, the Heartless are frankly an dintentionally concerned ''only'' with causing others physical, emotional and mental pain. They themselves are gourmands of misery and the relentless pursuit of personal satisfaction by means of excruciation. Mercy is a vice they have long since excised from their souls. To the adherents of this path, humans (and even most other Cainites) are little more than objects to be used, abused and, more often than not, consumed.

	~~;<span style="color:maroon;"><u>~~'''~~Ethics of Cruelty~~'''~~</u>~~		'''Practices''': The Heartless are disturbing in their religious devotions even to other Sinners, constantly engaged in the refinement and understanding of physical suffering, spiritual agony and mental anguish. They practice their arts on mortals and Cainites alike, preferring ot devour the weak and prey on the strong, whom they consider more worthy of their extended, creative attentions. At a practical level, many followers of this path exist at the fringes of Cainite society, mercenary and friendless, or serve the Cainite social order in such capacities that require the imaginative infliction of "justice." Heartless scourges and sheriffs are disturbingly common, since the jobs already require the Cainitewho hold them to be functionally devoid of conscience and human empathy from the start.
