- Complete Monster: Tomás de Torquemada runs a horrific regime in Spain where countless people are tortured and executed in show trials, all to keep up a weak show of false piety to mask his sadism. When he lusts after a woman, Torquemada has her arrested and tortured before imprisoning her husband and attempting to extort sex from her in exchange for his life. When she resists, Torquemada beats her and cuts out her tongue, before continuing his activities, attempting to subject her husband to the worst death he can think of with the eponymous pit and pendulum.
