Narcissist

Surging he rode the rogue wave, rendering righteous destruction in his path.  With lethal intent, he corralled his quarry in the bay. The serene cool crystal waters soon turned crimson red with the blood of the innocent and vulnerable.   

brutal hearts brazen
emotional tsunamis
slay in the shallows

Enjoyed your comment, wording "heart of brutality" and would like to expand on this concept.
