Phlebotinum Rebel: Difference between revisions

* Mordion Agenos, the Reigners' Servant from [[Hexwood]]. Servants are the product of careful selective breeding for Reigner traits (Mordion can ''stop people's hearts'' using his mind alone) and a [[Training From Hell]] that generally results in a kind of [[Stockholm Syndrome]] - but Mordion comes out of the other end with a conscience intact, and when the Bannus allows him to forget about the hold of fear the Reigners have over him, it's very bad news for the Reigners.

* In Catherine Asaro's books about the Skolian Imperialate, the Aristos take genetic samples from bodies of former rulers of the long-dead Ruby Empire, in order to create a brother and sister pair meant for breeding into pleasure slaves. Pleasure, in this case, means physically torturing the slave so that the pain the slave telepathically radiates causes an orgasmic response in the telepathically receptive Aristo. The brother, name unknown, kills himself upon realizing his intended purpose. The sister is Layahalia Selei, who kills her captors, escapes, discovers a Lock into an abandoned FTL communication system, and eventually founds the Imperialate. The Imperialate is now the only society capable of holding the Aristos at bay from conquering the entire galaxy.
