Deko did not pick his captains based on good nature but on their ability to brutalise and instill terror into his subjects. I learned a lot from Deko even before I had the pleasure of meeting him.
Prig and the other leaders were terrifying, they beat them bloody, breaking bones and killing if they wanted. The wounds were horrible and you really felt for the characters for having to endure them.
“To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.”
