Daniel vs Mandus

[LHudson]

Which is why I was hoping, despite all evidence to the contrary, that Mandus would have turned out to be a good man. Instead he has a lot in common with his great-uncle Alexander.

Mandus has a rather creepy amount of sexual repression. He'd spied on his wife long before his supernaturally-endowed madness, and he apparently enjoys masturbating to his own image while indulging himself in nihilistic thoughts. Daniel may have been fearful and weak-minded, but I never saw him as an egotist or pervert.

That's the thing I like about Mandus, he feels more human than Daniel. Sure he may have some unlikable traits but then again, who doesn't haven't negative traits about them? Daniel slaughtered people for his personal gain, Mandus is a creepy pervert, and I like Ride to Hell: Retribution. Thing is, Daniel feels more shallow and harder to sympothise. I would've like to see what happened during the month between the expedition and the moment he picked up his pen. I wanted to know more about his family life but got few sentences on the subject.
