The serial killer analogy is just one type of humakti. A deciple of Humakt is very alien to most people, especially the normal Heortlings. And there are many types of serial killers too. They don't need to be raving, they can be calm and calculating.
But mostly the serial killer analogy is for those Heortlings that have fallen in love with death above anything else. Most humakti are honorable and dependable to an extent you just won't find with the tempestous orlanthi.
Where the hotheaded orlanthi attack and are ambushed, a humakti commander will not take the decieving bait, and when a charge fails, an orlanthi warleader will turn and run, but a humakti can make the men stand and fight.
Orlanth understands raiding, Humakt understands war.
