I think it was good that I could remind people that Adelmo has never been portrayed as anything other than a total Dark Side megalomaniac. She is VERY seriously headlong down the Dark Side path, with all that comes with it.
Only one of her followers has been portrayed as approaching being socially functional. Very few of them even speak, they are so dominated by her.

Essentially, she's enough of a psychopath that she makes us look like kittens in comparison...
And she rules by sheer power. She is so powerful, she has never had to employ any other technique. She doesn't understand the idea of persuading people to follow her- it would just look like weakness to her. You follow or you die.
To be fair, Kuylen didn't tolerate dissent either, though his attitude would be "Kill me, then you will be in charge and can make the decisions. Want to give it a go?"
Few did.

But should her power give her understanding over emotions? And I thought the entire "female" vibe was supposed to be about subtlety? This surprises me.

Hey!
And not far is good.

Meanwhile, as some of you guys noticed when you first met her, and Edna noticed more recently, Adelmo is too powerful. You can't figure it out.Edna can even now tell you that she sent half of Selene insane.
That's...uh...kind of scary, actually. What the hell?
