Demons are malevolent spiritual beings, which cause havoc and choas on Earth. Some demons are trapped in Hell, while others reside within Purgatory. The former leader of the demons was believed to be the demon Moloch. Demons are supposedly fallen Angels.[1]
History[]
The exact origins of the demonic species are unknown and instead there are only theories and speculations not so reliable, an example of this is the diary of Grace Dixon that is coded, indicating them as fallen angels. Only the Devil is confirmed as a fallen angel and instead other demons were originally human.
Whatever their origin, demons have become frequent beings in different legends and are part of several mythologies around the world such as Greek, Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, Egyptian, etc.
Subspecies[]
The existence of some subspecies of demons has been demonstrated, distinguished by certain characteristics in their abilities, origin, way of acting, or hierarchical position.
- Shadows of Darkness: A group of lesser demons who, though seemingly weak, possess a variety of abilities. Most serve whoever wields the Thracian Phiale, but others are assigned to infiltrate human society.
- Incordata: Primarily female demons with various succubus attributes and whose hearts were located outside their bodies. On Earth in the 1st century, an Incordata was defeated by a Roman priest, and this feat was immortalized with the creation of Valentine's Day.
- Vitala: Undead demons who worship the goddess Kali, capable of regeneration and producing an acidic poison from their claws. The Vitala seen to date were originally humans transformed into these creatures through a painful ritual involving a statue of the Hindu goddess.
Known Demons[]
Trivia[]
- According to Grace Dixon's Journal, Demons are fallen Angels. This may not be 100% accurate as many demons were originally Human. Furthermore, the journal which they received the information was in code meaning that the statement which suggests that Demons are Angels could just be merely code for finding the Sword of Methuselah.[1]
