“One of the trademarks of all of our training was submission. To inflict such severe pain that our subject would submit, tap out. Beg for mercy. I tested this theory with one priest who, on more than one occasion, had been particularly evil in his treatment of me in the dungeon. To refresh his memory I dislocated every joint he possessed. Arms, shoulders, ankles, all of them. It was a long time before he would walk, go to the bathroom, or feed himself. I mangled the arms and hands that had abused me and left him forever dependent upon the mercy of another to accomplish even menial tasks.
