This Will Probably Make Its Way Into One Of - Tumblr Posts

If it weren't for genre and target audience constraints, Rafal could have been so much worse. (And yet, there's already one human trafficking count against him in canon, I know.)

Still, I have a headcanon that he'd have bodies exhumed, shortly before decay sets in with zero regard for the deceased's loved ones, to study them, and not for art like Da Vinci did, but for learning anatomy in order to torture the living more effectively.

The "fluffy" part of the headcanon would be that he would threaten Rhian with creative yet anatomically impossible torture when Rhian doesn't listen to him, and Rhian would recognize it could never happen and just know Rafal is looking out for him.
