    In the deserted island villa, he is an elegant chef wielding a kitchen knife, hunting down NPCs and instilling psychological trauma in many viewers; in Sin City, he is a mad, gentlemanly figure with painted faces, leading his henchmen into chaos; when the gods descend, he is a compassionate and merciful priest in black robes, leading his followers to follow the evil god, ultimately slaying God. "I have no sense of taste, therefore I enjoy savoring their despair and fear." "I like rules, as long as I set them." "Not receiving a response from the gods is the greatest original sin." Endless karmic fire crawls on his robes, a crimson smile on his silver mask. "I will be the only god in this game."
