Powers:

Coagulation, 1 point, Init –1, Corpus,:This form may be male or female, and of any race or age, but these forms bear a familial similarity.

Envisioning; 1 point, Init +0, Mentem.

Harness the Wind, 1 point, Init 0, Corpus: This power allows the demon to fly swiftly from one place to another, and lasts until the journey ends or dawn. Most demons do not fly this way, instead dematerializing and creating a fresh body at their destination. Succubae and incubi travel using this Power instead if they have semen they do not wish to lose, but may dematerialize and coagulate if they prefer.

Hag Ride: 1 point, Init 0, Corpus: The demon may "ride" a victim for an evening. This power causes the victim to lie, conscious but paralyzed, while the demon rapes them. Being ridden costs a long term Fatigue level and prevents the recovery of any Fatigue during the night. A victim ridden on consecutive evenings loses another level each night. The victim regains the power to move at dawn.

Mutable gender; 0 point, Init +0, Corpus: The demon can switch gender at will.

Obsession, 1 to 3 points, Init –5, Vim: Lustful or Rapacious, varying by demon.

Weakness: Abhorrent material (daylight). Storyguides wanting these demons to provide Eustace with some weak air cover during the final battle may prefer to swap this for something else, for example Protected Group (chaste people).

Vis: 1 pawn Corpus vis sordida in the private organs.

Appearance: Beautiful women in skirts and bodices, or men with rippling muscles, long hair, and shirts open to the waist

These are sexual demons; wherever you have pirates, you'll have a few of these around also. Succubae and Incubi are the same type of demon. Each is able to switch genders to harvest the semen of wicked men, and then plant it in the bodies of evil women. And example is given here, but the Characteristics, Virtues, Flaws and Abilities of these creatures are variable.

or because the agents of Hell have fallen out with each other. Stephen Crabbe, Eustace's rival in the service of Hell, is described earlier, and he may advertise the connection between the demon and the pirate, for his own purposes.

The Winchelsea House, London Palace, or Monastery of Samer.

Characters may stumble into this story by visiting one of these sites first. Once they have cleansed that site and gained resources that make Eustace vulnerable, they may begin plotting his destruction.
