The Banker Durcet or best known as The Magistrate, is one of the main protagonists of the famous novel of erotic horror-satire The 120 Days of Sodom, by Marquis de Sade and the film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, directed by renowned writer, intellectual and Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini. He is a judge who built his wealth thanks to many dishonest acts, and obviously a big fan of licentiousness and a ruthless murderer and torturer. Together with his friends The Duke of Blangis, Curval and Bishop, he participated in the evil plan consisting of the capture and imprisonment of several teenage boys and girls, on which to vent all their sexual fantasies, fetishes and bloodlust upon them.
He is portrayed by Uberto Paolo Quintavalle.
Personality[]
The Magistrate is quite possibly the most evil of the four fascist four, next to Curval while both The Bishop and his older brother The Duke both are capable of some form of love and affection, both The Magistrate and Curval don't seem to exhibit any. Like Curval, he does not even have a favored victim and his favorites are tortured the most by him. He also seems to exhibit god complex traits as he is the one in charge of holding the red book which contains the list of names of victims to be punished a painful death.
However, much like the other three fascists, he is genuinely nice and friendly towards them and the collaborators, often complimenting them when necessary as well as behaving like a gentlemen but his positive traits are outweighed by his unforgivable perversion, depravity and sheer sadism towards his victims.
Biography[]
Like the other three fascists, The Banker embodies one of the four main forms of power, in his case, the law.
Early Life[]
Much of his early life and background is unknown but he is revealed to be a judge in the Constitutional Court of Italy and for two years straight, lusted over a fellow judge's teenage son named Tonino.
