Cruelty

No signifcant alignments in the standard deck.

The number thirteen card in the deck.

A military leader secures his gloved hand in preparation for torture, he wears a blood red arm band (one of the most significant uses of color in this deck) and bears a grim , stern look on his face.

Almost no description is needed. In a past or present position this person represents the intense cruelty of man. A person (or perhaps situation) who (which) is hurtful for the sake of causing harm .

Reversed- more of the same with intensity leading to death .
