Suggested Characteristics

The mind of an Executioner is warped in morbid senses, from habits they developed from desensitized killings and going as far as to killing even the most innocent of life to secure their position in town.  They have obvious showings of cracked personalities to what they may have been before.  What may keep them from going over the deep end is the most important thing to them, but no matter how close they are to others, it's what pushes those close that keeps the executioner in the dark side of their minds.
