** And then there's Inquisitor Mozgus. who is just as horrible as you'd expect a [[Knight Templar|fanatical religious nutjob with too much power and not a shred of objectivity]] can get. While it's pretty obvious from the start that he's Bad News, his vilest act we see makes him a [[Complete Monster]] of the first order: when a band of starving refugees attempts to steal some of the ample foodstuffs sent to Mozgus and his retinue, he spots among them a woman with a starving infant. When she begs him to feed her child, he gently takes her along to his residence, lauding her courage and dedication. He sends away the child to be fed and cared for, then escorts her to a room while extolling the fact that while her intentions were good, she still has to expiate her sins... And then he opens the door, where we see the other refugees being horribly tortured, and the poor woman is dragged, stripped, and tied to another torture device over her increasingly frantic pleas... Then the door closes. It's as nightmarish as it sounds, if not more so. The horror starts [http://www.mangareader.net/96-1138-50/berserk/chapter-18.html here]

*** Somehow the fact that he quite obviously ''truly'' believes he is doing the right thing makes it even worse. An unrepentant [[Card-Carrying Villain]] like [[Complete Monster|Wyald]] is certainly horrific, but the idea that someone can commit even worse atrocities and still consider themselves a good person is even more terrifying, especially when history has proven time and again that [[Humans Are Bastards|humans are fully capable of this]] ''without'' being demons.
