The absolute best example of a Collector Type The Batman has to be P.T. Barnum. The distinction between the Brain and Beast Aspects for Collector Type The Batmans is at the level of why they collect what they collect. Barnum personifies the Brain Aspect by his aggregation of freaks seemingly out of twisted cerebral motives simply to have and be known for having the most impressive collection. In contrast, a Beast Aspected Collector is typically working toward some kind of monstrous self-reinvention. Buffalo Bill, from Silence of the Lambs, just barely qualifies, in that he has very specific requirements for each of the components of his collection, and criteria for determining when the collection is complete. This is what differentiates the Collector from the Feeder. The extent to which Countess Bathory is indiscriminate in who she gets blood from, and lacks a vision of somehow achieving an aesthetically satisfying state of completeness, is the extent to which she falls more into the Feeder Type.
