- I am a tool to bring about the perfect world. There are times where I must be a delicate instrument. Other times require the brute swing of a hammer. I will not hesitate to be either I shall serve those above me with my loyalty and demand the same from those below me.
- Chaos is the greatest threat to the world, and I shall not let it tarnish my work.
- I will remember that my place in the hierarchy is not complete until the Hellcraft is done. Just as I can rise to greater heights, so too can I plummet to darker depths
- Contracts are a union of my word and divine promise. I shall never break mine, but will ensure that I am not ensnared by the words of lesser men
- Death fuels entropy and waste; I will use everything at my disposal, even my enemies. Slavery is a mercy that lets the enslaved find their true place, so I will spare my enemies from death whenever possible.
