Lawful Evil

Lawful evil entities takes what they want while following personal, national, or religious codes of conduct without regard for whom is hurt in the process. Tradition, loyalty, and order outweigh freedom, dignity or life. They play by the rules but mercy nor compassion enter into the equation. Comfortable in a hierarchy and would prefer to rule, but willing to serve. They condemn others not according to their actions, but according to race, religion, homeland or social rank. They are reluctant to break laws and promises.
