These types of people feel hatred beyond the limits of any dark god, and can sometimes manifest this hatred into a great evil that will one day be a bane to all mortal and immortal beings. Sometimes this feeling of hatred can exist in other creatures besides the divine themselves, such as a kid who was thrown into a well and left to die in darkness because his family was in a demon cult, a lady taken by bandits and then used as a servant and beaten, or even a great hero who is captured by necromancers and sacrificed to help them continue their work.
