11. ...One thing I regret leaving off was this one:<br /><br />11. The Second Inquisition are not the good guys<br /><br />One could make a compelling argument that the destruction of all vampires is a good thing. Even the best of the Kindred race will probably a few innocents before their Final Death. The Hunger and Beast are inescapable (unless you're a Thin Blood--and even then it's a crapshot). However, the Second Inquisition is full of fanatics that feel that they are justified in doing whatever their quest requires. Zeal and righteous anger do not lead anywhere good in the World of Darkness, though. Inquisitors will kidnap, torture, and execute anyone they feel is an ally of the undead. This includes vessels, blood bound slaves, and innocent pawns. Unlike vampires, the Second Inquisition cannot mind-wipe people to cover up their existence and so are much more likely to kill in order to hide their organization's secrecy. Hideous medical experiments, terrifying black sites, and other moral compromises are things the SI are involved in. Vampires are monsters by nature but may do less damage than the SI cell that fakes a terrorist attack in order to give it operational freedom in the region. Ditto the ICE operative who decides to sell detainees to vampires because he realizes how much money can be made in the Blood Trade.CTPhippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04226189019351004118noreply@blogger.com
