[Faith's silent, for a little while. Fuck it, might as well. She feels bad, like she's taken advantage of Gideon. It's only fair Gideon gets an idea of the kind of person she's dealing with.]

I was an assassin. [A personal attack dog. She puts her hands in her jacket pocket.] I was given power to help people fight the powers of darkness or whatever and I used it to kill a lot of people at the behest of this... guy.

The Mayor. He's... god, I don't even know how old he was. But he sold his soul a long time ago, became something... not quite human, not quite demon. He built this town over a gateway to hell, did business with monsters and demons so they could feast on the people to their heart's content. I... there was an accident, and I killed one of his deputies. Then I killed his right hand on purpose. All my friends started shunning me... [Or that's how she remembers it, anyway.] And when I showed up at his doorstep to kill him too, he was the only one who took me in.

The only one who seemed like he actually gave a fuck about me. The others left me to rot in this shitty unprotected motel, he gave me a full protected apartment, as many weapons as I wanted, and he kept me paid enough to get what I wanted without having to steal to survive.

So I killed and tortured people for him. 'Cuz that's how easy it is to get me to turn evil, I guess.

[Can you guess who The Emperor reminds her of?]
