Magog

== Band Attunements ==
=== Rapha (restricted) ===
Magog’s Skulkers are slower and more methodical than most of his servitors. After observing a human for an hour they can tell exactly would cause the person the most emotional distress.
== Distinctions ==
=== Dukes ===
Magog has four dukes (putting him on par with Fleurity, Kobal, and Lilith). These four are:
* The Warden
* The Torturer
* The Bully
* The Partisan (a.k.a., the Anathema)
==== Warden, Torturer, and Bully ====
The first three dukes were captured right alongside Magog. Their “titles” reflect their roles within Magog’s prison. The Warden may not always have been the same demon. However, the current Warden is whichever demon was responsible for maintaining order inside the prison when Magog was finally loosed upon the world.
==== The Partisan ====
The fourth duke is actually just the most senior demon of Cruelty to have evaded capture. The Partisan may or may not have ever been formally invested as a duke ~ but while leading the demons of Cruelty-in-Exile they styled themself as such.
During Magog’s captivity, the Partisan will act as the superior for any demon of Cruelty in play.
===== The Anathema =====
Shortly after Magog’s escape, the Partisan was renamed Anathema (also Traitor, Backstabber, That Vile Cuss, and many even less flattering things).
Even as Magog’s #1 target outside of Heaven, the Anethema maintains a loyal following. However, the court now meets only in secret, and many of its members are hiding among the servitors of other Superiors. Dangerous as that may be, it’s still considered safer than betraying Magog while staying within his reach.

=== Princely Opinions ===
Alaemon: His secret tomb should have stayed buried. His servants are useless for intrigue, and they simply try to kill anyone who blackmails them. (Hoarded secrets are useless. Alaemon knows how to hurt people, but he's too passive, often sitting quietly in the background instead of using what he knows for maximum effect.)
Fleurity: Completely lacking in discretion or class. Some of Magog's demons use drugs to fuel their rage, but they'd kill off my market if they could. (Drugs make people do unspeakable things, but they also provide an escape. Withdrawal is fun to watch, though.)
Furfur: Fuckin' A! This is what a demon prince should be! When his servitors and mine party, there ain't nothin' left standing afterwards! (A vicious upstart, with a suitable taste for violence. The pup is useful to me.)
Mammon: He's a bloodthirsty lunatic, albeit smarter than Saminga. But he's also poor, and weak, and that means I may be able to use him. (Mammon himself is useless, but his riches could be useful, and some of his demons are the sort of cold-blooded bastards I like. He's not the only one capable of a hostile takeover . . . .)
=== Archangelic Opinions ===
Christopher: Magog is just plain evil. He scares me, frankly. (Children are meat to be slaughtered, like everyone else. They are particularly satisfying because they're such easy prey.)
Khalid: The archangel of Stone and I buried Magog in the desert, and he'd be there still if I had not been weak. Magog is my sin, for which I must atone. Let him be an example of what horrors you can unleash if you allow your faith to waver. (He trapped me beneath the sands for millennia! He did that to me! First, I will spark unspeakable violence among his followers, and then I . . . will . . . DESTROY…HIM!)
Litheroy: Because his burial place was a secret, Malphas was able to find him and set him free. Had we known where Magog was buried, we could have put a guard over him, or destroyed him. (All those centuries, no one unearthed me. Did Litheroy really not know where I was? I think he's a liar and a hypocrite, but he'll die like all the rest.)
Zadkiel: We must protect people from cruelty. In Magog's case, the best protection would probably be elimination. (Be as protective as you like, that just tells us who we should target first.)
