Exorcism of Alex Tilden

The Exorcism of Alex Tilden was the expulsion of the demon Magoth from Alex Tilden's body following a car crash caused by Magoth.
==Background==
Basar was freed from being imprisoned by a Keeper and marked Alex Tilden for possession.Helstrom: 1.01: Mother's Little Helpers The demon Magoth possessed Tilden, who found himself on the side of the road. He asked Kevin for help getting to the hospital, so Kevin began driving. Tilden eventually lost the fight for control over his body, and Magoth caused Kevin to crash into a truck, killing both Kevin and the driver of the truck and trapping Tilden's body, which would have died had he not been possessed.
Tilden managed to briefly regain control and ask for his last rites, so Father Sean Okamoto was called to deliver them. When Okamoto appeared and began to read, Magoth bit the priest's arm and used his abilities to launch of car mirror at him. Before being looked at by medics, Okamoto called Gabriella Rosetti, asking for help. Rosetti offered to bring an exorcist, Daimon Helstrom, for assistance.Helstrom: 1.02: Viaticum
==Exorcism==
When Gabriella Rosetti and Daimon Helstrom arrived at the scene of the crash, Okamoto fill them in on what had happened to Alex Tilden and the demon, Magoth, that was possessing him. The pair approached the demon, and Rosetti asked why he caused the car crash, so Magoth simply said that he enjoyed it. He tried to use part of a truck to kill them, although Helstrom deflected it and asked the demon not to do it again. Rosetti continued asking questions, so Magoth figured out that she was new to working with demons. Helstrom told Magoth not to make fun of her, but Magoth revealed that the entire demon community knew Helstrom as a traitor and respected his sister as a murderer.
Rosetti began attempting to use prayer to exorcise the demon, despite Helstrom's assurances that it would not work against Magoth. However, Rosetti explained that it might work in favor of Tilden, who was a man of faith. Tilden started to become stronger through the prayer, so Magoth used his abilities to move a signal flare over a ring of gasoline, causing a ring of fire to surround them. This caused Rosetti to realize that her prayer was working, and she asked Tilden to continue fighting, showing a picture of him and his family. Tilden eventually broke through, and ask Rosetti to tell his son that he loved him and was proud of him. While Rosetti listened intently, Tilden asked her to tell his wife that he loved her and to apologize on his behalf for hiring prostitutes while he was on the road. However, Magoth resumed control and the fire started to grow bigger, so Helstrom realized the urgency with which they needed to exorcise Magoth.
Magoth issued a warning about the demon who marked him, saying that he was strong and would be coming for Helstrom. Helstrom then planted his hands on Tilden's mark and head, using his demonic abilities to get the demon out of Tilden's body. This resulted in Tilden's death and took a toll on Helstrom, who rested while Rosetti said a final prayer for Tilden.
==Aftermath==
Gabriella Rosetti and Sean Okamoto expressed their condolences to the Tilden family, only telling them what she believed they needed to hear. Daimon Helstrom sat in his car and waited for Rosetti, who soon joined them. Rosetti realized the seriousness of the problem with demons, expressing hope that the Tilden family receive closure, although Helstrom expressed his belief that not everybody receives it.
Basar killed various members of the fraternity Phi Gamma Epsilon and marked a young student named Bryce, who Magoth possessed. Magoth told Basar that Helstrom had been warned about the pair coming, and Basar asked Magoth to bring him Gabriella Rosetti.Helstrom: 1.03: The One Who Got Away
