The root of all Evil

I was THE malevolent spirit; once I became impassioned by the destructive force of hatred I was unstoppable.

My trademark trick was to imprint my visage on young children's faces as their parents went to kiss them goodnight then repeat every night until those children became rejects. Fathers smothered their sons in their beds, mothers abandoned their cursed daughters in churches or convents. The pain never left their hearts and they became consumed by darkness and sin.

I could break the strongest of bonds and manipulate the most loving family into murderous monsters.

I am the root of all evil.
