This also brings up the question of what happens to all his pet monsters when he passes on. Do they ever clean out the mess he's left, or just assign another just like him?
I also notice that this kind of intimidation stuff is also handy for bullying people away from checking on corruption and finding things that weren't supposed to be uncovered, until you get arrogant enough to go too far, and everything blows skyhigh.
The white people who run things don't like that kind of thing, though.
