About the Butcher

The demon known as the Butcher of the Pit is a master of torture and interrogation. His specialty is dealing with those damned souls who believe they are in Hell unjustly. Therefore, his best "clients" are those who are self-righteous, want to take over the world, or otherwise believe that they know better than everyone else. He has also, in the past, been in charge of interrogating prisoners in the War, including angels who managed to be taken prisoner.

He basically has the Hellish equivalent of an office job. He is not a front-line warrior or a tactician. He knows very little about the human world or Above except what he has heard or read in demonic texts. He does not know how to read any human languages, but he has learned angelic script.

He was raised to the material world by the Circle of Thorns, but in my mind, whoever called him up didn't know what they were doing. I haven't decided the specifics yet, but I imagine he was called on by mistake. The person who did the summoning may have read what his job was and misunderstood. Or possibly they were trying to summon someone else and got "Butch" by accident. He does enjoy spreading chaos and mayhem, ferreting out information, and tempting people to evil, but [SPOILER] only because he's never been given the opportunity to do so before. He's having a bit of fun with it all primarily because it's new to him. He may seem a little "all over the place" because of it, not really focusing except when he is being asked to find out secrets. [END SPOILER] He is naturally curious, which can and probably will get him in trouble. He's also pretty talkative in general, partly out of this same curiosity and partly because when he talks, it gets others to talk, sometimes letting secrets slip... >:)

As I was coming up with his personality and role, I started to realize that he could really be a hero just as much as a villain. While it's true that he's a representative of the Pit, his job is to punish those who have done wrong. And oddly enough, he could very easily be turned from a Dual Blades/Fiery Aura brute into a Fire/Dual Blades tank. It would cost him damage, but from an RP standpoint, it would make sense. It may be something to toy with in the future, especially since Evangeline could also be translated fairly easily from a Sonic/Kin corruptor into a Kin/Sonic defender. Unfortunately, since this would cost both of them damage output, they'd likely need to be teamed with a blaster to compensate.
