He protects his cover by pretending to be in support of the regime and even more fanatical than-Victor Cachet. Which means he is a very scary person. In the course of an investigation of the murder of a [[Asshole Victim|tyrannical political officer]] he finds that he had engaged in the sexual torture of several naval personal and recorded it on video. He also discovers that another political officer was guilty of culpable cowardice in failing to intervene. His sentence is for the negligent officer to watch his comrades, one of whom he was in love with being repeatedly raped on video.
* In [[A. A. Milne]]'s poem "Bad Sir Brian Botany", the titular character makes a habit of abusing his neighbours using his fighting boots and battle-axe. Eventually the villagers band together, hide his weapons and give him exactly the kind of beating he's been giving them.

He then {{spoiler|gradually slips back into his old habits, eventually driving his wife to an early death. On the night of the funeral he takes a shortcut through the graveyard, only to find his surroundings identical to the start of his dream.}} This time he {{Spoiler|falls into a grave and breaks his neck.}}
