Cannot allow a shady used car saleman to live when it is your choice

David's already have the usual Stone "don't hit first" dissonance, and I suspect David figures that's fine.

Eli probably told his, "be cool" -- but may well have emphasized the "try other options first, if you can" part. He and Novalis get along, plus he's a Mercurian, so the whole "smite the sin, help the sinner" concept is probably in there. "Evil is a concept, not a person," would be one way of putting it?

Jordi thinks all humans need to be reined in, but God said that it's not acceptable to winnow them back to the Stone Age, and God is Alpha, so... Look, don't make disturbance if you don't have to, and eating humans makes lots of disturbance -- and causes humans to go killing animals, so think really hard about what you're going to do before you tear a human's throat out.

I thought that a Jordite in the Vessel of a Bengal Tiger killing (by ripping their throat out) and eating a Human would generate no disturbance. OTOH a Gerbil doing the same thing, would generate disturbance, right?)

Well, true. Though if you turn into a Bengal Tiger in downtown Podunk, Iowa, there's probably going to be disturbance... >_> (The Turning-Into-A-Tiger part if nothing else.) On the plus side, Podunk Iowa is probably far enough away from anything else that you might get away with it.

The real concern Jordi has is probably "will this get the humans riled up such that they start shooting all the animals who might possibly have done it?" That would not help the Word of Animals, after all, and is arguably a greater evil than letting one noxious human get away.

If you can silently rip out a human's throat, kill evil, and enhance or at least not harm the Word of Animals? ...like Jordi's going to complain?

So the Cherub of Animals who goes after the one person preventing a Wilderness Park from being established just has to get a Soldier to put the body in an incinerator... (Since I'm assuming the Cherub of Animals doesn't have a role that would have that be something the Symphony would expect to do)

Or devour the body completely enough that no recognizable bits are left, depending on what kind of Vessel specifically we're talking about here.

I'd suggest Devour, rather than devour, but I doubt Jordi would react well to one of his/her servitors having a friendship with a celestial with Devour...

Oh, definitely, there are ways to get an Evil Human dead. Just that Malakim are generally on a short leash (even Jordi's...) for various reasons, which vary slightly from Superior to Superior.

And, there's the ever-popular, "If I go hunting humans and doing the requisite cover-up, I easily wind up letting demons get the drop on me, and that is the Greater Evil." Even a rogue Malakite should be keeping that in mind.
