COMPASSION – Not to be confused with empathy. A virtue essential to any effective investigator. Many people lose their way. Some blunder onto the wrong path by accident, others head wilfully into the darkness and entice others to follow. In the course of my own investigative career I've only encountered a dozen or so individuals entirely motivated by malice. Weaklings and numbskulls, however, are legion. A successful detective must know when to apply compassion and when to summon wrath.
