6

My frustration boils over into violence.

I obey the law, but I strain at its limits to the point of

heresy.

I put the minimum effort possible into anything that

isn't my own idea.

A low profile is the best defense of all.

I'm so reliant on the laws of the N ine Hells that I

panic without their guidance.

I am secret ly jealous of the freedom that mortals

enjoy.
