A non-human species also known as Sociopathus Destructus which looks and sounds like a Homo Sapiens but is incapable of feeling empathy or compassion.
The Sociopathus Destructus entire existence evolves around politics and preying on others. Its natural habitat is Washington DC but it can be found at all levels of local, state and federal governments around the world.
