And where dominating or vampirizing troublemakers into behaving is considered harmony-inducing. As is executing unreliable thralls.
Sounds...A lot like Tarquin, actually: "There must be some sense of order — personal, political, or dramatic — and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will." More altruistic and empathic, maybe, but still an "Ends-Justify-The-Means." Evil Control Freak-type.
