So if you and Inferno are planning on retooling the psychopath category, I do have some questions on it. So, there are some basics behind psychopathy such as a lack of empathy or inability to learn from mistakes, maintain relationships, etc. One character that I was contemplating on was actually Aronofsky's Him. Assuming you hadn't seen the film (I don't really recommend it; while some would dislike it because it can be seen as anti-religious, I mostly dislike it because it is pretentious), Him is basically a poet who is the stand in for God. In the film, Him seems to meet a lot of the essential points towards being a psychopath. He is unable to form a healthy relationship with his wife because he has that insatiable need to create and obtain worship. While he does claim to love Mother, it's made clear that he's more fixated on how she loves him than the other way around, and he has no qualms with exploiting her, and even hands her baby over to his crowd of followers, leading o his son getting killed and cannibalized. As for whether he felt genuine remorse...I am personally leaning towards the idea that he doesn't because he restarts everything from the beginning.

As or the rest, he clearly is incapable of learning from his mistakes as he essentially starts the cycle all over again as if hopeful that the end result would be different.
