I was always impressed by the painting depicting the Siege of La Rochelle . With Cardinal Richelie overlooking the defences in the advent of the English Navy. A true image of power and confidence in a man who was born to lead.

Not so fun fact: The cardinal's body was dismembered during the French revolution. All that's left of him is his head and one of his ring fingers.

Demonic energy is about right, no ordinary human could pull of such feats and such horrors.
