The master toward his apprentice, the husband toward his wife, the father toward his children, the soldat toward the people, the sergeant toward the recruits, the lieutenant toward the sergeant, the general toward the lieutenant, the general toward the priest of Bane, and Bane toward the priest.

As a banite cleric, you aspire to hold supremacy over all things lesser and enforce respect through fear and strict order of law.
Having a healthy respect for others in positions of authority helps keep you alive, althought undermining that authority and proving yourself superior isn't out of the question.
Keep the rabble firmly under your iron boot. In the order of things, some beings simply NEED to be led by an oppressive figure who can properly use the power granted to them to protect and nourish their charges.

Keep in mind that Banites are a very rigid organizaion and follow Law. Random, senseless or unplanned actions are not a major part of the church. As a character, that means you can bide your time and be more melancholy than the impulsive types. Evil acts don't need to flow from you like an unstoppable tide.

I always portray my Banites as ruthless but restrained.
