Torgo (Part 2)
The fact that Torgo didn't have any satisfiable answers to any of the inquiries being made by his tormentors did not in any meaningful way deter them from their grisly duty.

The Marquis of Chute de L’Ombre had never been called a bastion of sanity and clearly thought-out reasonable behavior.
