You do have a point there; perhaps Kadamon (being a more enraged, reckless alter-verse equivalent of Adam) had given up being a coherent person in order to gain the ability to sabotage reality.

This picture's reference to the particular place in Twin Peaks wasn't just an aesthetic choice, either.
Incidentally, the latter parts of my Helios story deals with the notion of ideology taking over a person, as such s/he is no longer recognizable but for a representation of that ideology.
