@13org Stick a knife at your own peril xD
Anyway, to explain Cabal's attitude, he classifies prey as "weak" and predators as "strong", but that does not necessarily mean that prey are the Hunted. It just means they're weaker and should act like it, which means not picking fights with "predators" in the same way a predator would. If you're prey, you fight like prey, not like a predator.
He sees Einar as prey trying to be a predator, since he keeps trying to aggravate Jackal (who is definitely an apex predator) for no reason.
Of note, when Cabal compares himself to Jackal, he is also prey. Which is why he's so confused by the way Einar acts around him. In his eyes, it's like he's committing suicide by stupidity.
Also, he's a Social Darwinist. Make of that what you will.
