What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Prior to the film, he forged evidence against six people to get them convicted for murder. As a result, they were imprisoned and one of them committed suicide.
- While his backstory of being brutalized every day he spent in prison is tragic, it's completely negated because his incarceration was his own fault and instead of understanding that, he puts all the blame on Lincoln Rhyme for being the one that outed him.
- It's also hypocritical, as he himself was responsible for falsely imprisoning six people.
- Prior to committing the movie's murders, he killed four people.
- His revenge involves the abduction, torture, and murder of innocent people just so he can use them to torment Rhyme with him failing at saving them.
- While he says in his motive rant that they were tests, he still shows no remorse for killing them.
- Despite the victims being innocent and having done nothing to him, he tortures them by cutting out of a piece of their bone while they're conscious.
- While he's copying "The Bone Collector" book, his murders are still horrible.
- For Lindsay Rubin, he fries her with steam from a giant open pipe which he turned at her.
- For the university student, he cuts his forehead, stabs him multiple times, and leaves him to be eaten by rats.
- For the grandfather and granddaughter (who's a child), he ties them to a pier so they'll drown. Thanks to Amelia Donaghy, the granddaughter survives, but the grandfather dies.
- His endgame is revealed to be torturing and murdering Rhyme. In order to do so, he slits the throat of the police captain and stabs Rhyme's nurse.
- After revealing himself, he breaks Rhyme's pointer finger and starts toying with his equipment in order to turn him into a vegetable. While doing this, he mockingly asks what type of vegetable he wants to be.
- When Rhyme fights back; he pulls him off the bed, grabs one of his knives, and starts putting the blade near his face: remarking whether or not he should cut out his tongue, eye, or vivisect him.
