I have this friend who's a marine special forces guy and he's done his share of destroying. You caught the look I get from him sometimes in your Destroyer God. That's him, centered, certain of what he can deliver, powerful in it - death, yeah, ok with it. Not present all the time but it comes out through him like a shadow. You got it there in a nutshell - I'll have to show it to him, he'll chuckle.
