I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually. I must admit though, even my dark side doesn't go quite so far as to empathize strongly with drug addicted child killing rapists. Raping a mother while the blood and brains of her slaughtered child are still on his hands - that guy really does take things to extremes!
Yes. He has a very logical mindset, though. "My horse failed me --> decapitate my horse" is one such example.
The 'use a mare in heat' was a good idea. I wonder if that would actually work. If so I wonder if they ever made a rule about it. It wouldn't at all surprise me if some medieval Tim Ferris gamed Jousting systems in ways like this and outraged enough nobles that they made this kind of trick a capital offense.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that the Crusaders ran into trouble with this. The Europeans favored stallions (stronger and more intimidating); the Saracens favored mares (faster and easier to control); the combination didn't work out well for the Europeans.
