Editing Heartbreaker (section)

==Personality==
Heartbreaker is an incredibly cruel and narcissistic individual, carrying little empathy for others. He casually sent women he tired of to their deaths in shootouts with local authorities,<ref name="R3">Maybe it's one of the once-a-year times when something slips. A kid gets recognized. Forces mobilize, the mole alerts Heartbreaker. Forces teleport in or mobilize via. flying vehicles, and Heartbreaker is already gone and running. He's got kids like Guillaume and the like, who already have dozens of unwitting spies watching (Guillame touches everyone in a crowd, and senses through their eyes, like Taylor's swarm sense, minus the control aspect, and can temporarily blind them or fuzz their senses), allowing the escape route to be plotted, and the group gets a few seconds of warning time before the flying suit passes over the area. Capes are forced to move in groups, because moving out alone means running the risk that Cherish might sense them, and the small group of Heartbreaker's kids, a handful of captured capes, and his elite zealot-soldiers could flank them and give Heartbreaker the moment he needs to wololo the solo cape.<br><br>Meanwhile, the women he's tired of are armed and ready to fight like the worst kind of zealot, convinced he's in the bedroom. The heroes approach, forming a perimeter, and neighbors of the initial victim make a move, flanking, opening fire with hunting rifles or improvised weapons. Chaos, fires are set.<br><br>It's hell - fighting guerilla forces made up of people you really don't want to hurt, blameless. Heartbreaker moves out to the periphery of the city to live in a rural location, or just disappears into another densely populated neighborhood. - [https://redd.it/3ctox4 Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> and he regularly abused his own children with doses of terror to keep them under his control.<ref name="10.I" /> Whenever his children were firmly under his grasp, he didn't care about them all, neglecting them in favor of his ever-adoring harem.<ref name="7.1 e5">He scowled briefly, then crossed one foot over the other on the coffee table, settling deeper into the couch with his coffee resting on his belt buckle.  “We had everything we could ask for, as far as money and stuff went.  Dad’s victims took care of the chores, so the only thing us kids would have to do was take care of the babies sometimes.  Didn’t have to go to school, but some of my brothers and sisters did just to stay out of my dad’s way.”<br><br>“Why?” I asked, “Or is that a dumb question?”<br><br>“Eh.  It’s hard to explain.  He cultivated us, bred for us, went miles out of his way to get us back if a member of his ‘family’ was taken from him.  Mounted a freaking crusade if it came down to it.  But when we were around, he paid almost no attention to us kids.  When he did pay attention, it was to discipline us or test us.  Discipline usually meant getting a dose of paralyzing terror for not listening to him, insulting him or even looking him in the eye, sometimes.  Testing happened on our birthdays or if he’d had a bad day… he’d try to set up a trigger event.  Not supposed to be so hard, given that we were second generation capes, obviously, but he started when we were eight or so.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/01/17 Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.1]]</ref> He treated the people around him like property, collecting and disposing of women at his whims and inducing [[Trigger Event|trigger events]] in his children to use them as his personal soldiers.<ref name="7.1 e5" /> He was even willing to rent out his own women and daughters, with men paying him for their "company".<ref name="II16.8">“I am your ally.  I know some men pay your father for access to his, um, girlfriends, wives?  To have them keep them company?” - [[From Within 16.8]]</ref><ref>“My sister,” Candy murmured.  “I can’t leave her.”<br><br>“I could pay for her to come join us, perhaps?”<br><br>A different kind of paralysis took hold.<br><br>“I have… ''many'' sisters.  No.  I can’t.  Even if not, I have to do what daddy says.”<br><br>“He said to listen to me, didn’t he?”<br><br>She went stiff, nodded.<br><br>“Then I order you to listen to me.  Tell me what you want.” - [[From Within 16.8]]</ref>

In his daily life, he is highly controlling and hedonistic, primarily interested in living a life of luxury and surrounding himself with beautiful women. He is also rather impulsive, as his power has typically allowed him to receive anything he wants with minimal effort. However, he isn't stupid, and runs his operation in an insidious manner.<ref name="R5">I'm not saying he doesn't take what he wants. He just isn't stupid when he goes about it. He makes a lot of enemies as it stands. Cherish was frustrated that he was reaching for the stars (ho ho ho ho), and threatening to burn the rest of them. - [https://redd.it/3ctox4 Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> Outside his occasional flights of fancy, he usually stays inside, using his women and children to run errands and scout for potential victims.<ref name="R1">Heartbreaker is slippery. His location is rarely easy to pin down, he doesn't go out much, he'll use his women and kids to find good looking women or women he can use and add them to his circle. They run the errands. - [https://redd.it/3ctox4 Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

He had the habit of collecting rings, presumably wedding rings from the married women he abducted.<ref name="25.6 e1">I looked at the rings on the memorial.  “Heartbreaker’s.”<br /><br />“He collected them.  I ''uncollected'' them.”<br /><br />“I’d heard he died.”<br /><br />Imp nodded slowly.  “Said I would.  I told you I’d kill his dad for him.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13 Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref> He is heterosexual, and thus only went after women.<ref name="R22">Look at it this way - at the age that many boys are raising an eyebrow at boobs, family members were saying 'hey, here are all the boobs you could want, in various shapes, sizes, and colors'.<br />Interested in dick? Big ones, little ones, crooked ones. Dad's not that into it but a sister can hook you up.<br />At an age when many are just figuring out enough of the world to ask 'what's heroin?' or 'what's weed?' he was given heroin and weed and everything else that was theoretically obtainable and told to only indulge if it was someone else's body.<br />At an age when many are saying 'sex must be awesome' he was given free reign. Where other 12-13 year old boys might search the internet for weird and disturbing porn and kinky stuff just to see what's out there, he could experience it.<br />He was given all of this in a context where people either didn't care or they didn't/couldn't judge (or, considering obligatory big brothers and their teasing, judgment didn't count for a hell of a lot compared to novelty.) - [https://redd.it/68zocs Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

Was known throughout the northeast of [[United States of America]] and [[Canada]].<ref name="21.1 e1">“And if they tried to come at me through my family, they’d get what they deserved,” Regent said.<br /><br />“Why?” Parian asked.<br /><br />“His dad’s Heartbreaker,” Tattletale said.<br /><br />“Oh.  Oh wow.”<br /><br />“Funny thing is,” Regent said, “If you think about it, we might be bigger than Heartbreaker, now.  People all over America know who we are, and I’m not sure if Heartbreaker is known that far to the south or west.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/09 Excerpt] from [[Imago 21.1]]</ref> His use of his abilities made him feared by the public.<ref name="7.1 e2">Lisa whistled, “After Coil let that detail slip, I made a mental list of possibilities.  Had it narrowed down to four.  Heartbreaker was one, the pieces fit, but it was so hard to believe.”<br /><br />“He’s big,” Brian said.<br /><br />“No,” Alec shook his head, “He’s scary.  He’s newsworthy.  But he’s not all that.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/01/17 Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.1]]</ref>
