from seeing himself in the news.
His lust for risk taking makes him put other people's lives in danger, and he doesn't give it a second thought. He's the man who drives twice the speed limit just to beat his friend home and doesn't think about the safety of other drivers on the road. Life is a game to him.
He has ingrained, maladaptive patterns of behavior with impulsive and unpredictable actions. He has frequent inappropriate temper outbursts and an unstable self-image. He takes no responsibility for his actions and often plays the victim when confronted about his behavior.
Stress-related anxiety plagues him as do feelings of real or imagined abandonment. He always feels empty inside and tries to compensate by taking risks that put himself and others in danger. Danger is all that can make him feel. He can't stand being alone and may drive others crazy needing to always go out and find something to do.
He loves to fight and enjoys challenges and risks; it makes him feel alive. Life is so boring and cruel to him, and he won't be the one to suffer. Why should he care about killing someone else when he so readily accepts his own mortality? At least he'll go out with the roar of the crowd — a hero till the end. He isn't concerned with growing old because he doesn't expect to live long.

Chapter 13
Hades
The Recluse and the Warlock
Dwelling in the dark underworld, unable to find light, Hades lives inside his head. He has no need for friends or acquaintances but instead prefers to linger alone. His life is full of the richness of the imagination as he goes about his daily activities. His mind is always somewhere else. He never realized what he was missing in his life until he came upon the beautiful goddess Persephone. Seeing her he knew he needed some companionship to get through his life, but unschooled in the ways of love he kidnaps her and drags her into his underworld life. He steals her innocence and realizes how unfeeling he has become. As his love grows he decides to sacrifice part of his time with her so that she may visit her mother in the Spring. She has taught him compassion and self-awareness.
The Recluse
The Recluse is a man who has a rich inner life and creative spirit but can sometimes get lost in his own fantasies. He may be a sensitive man who can see other realms, a sort of psychic, and is in danger of totally withdrawing from reality altogether.
He can also be a great philosopher who spends hours
