Demon Doctor

== BEGIN PROFILE: ==
Subject: DEMON DOCTOR is a metamechanical semi-alchemical humanoid construct found in the ruins of the [REDACTED] Museum Of The Strange And Peculiar after INCIDENT: WHISTLEBREAKER. 
Recovered documentation indicates finding in Germany in 18[REDACTED] (Though analysis indicates origins around the [REDACTED] century) and importation to the United states by notorious fraud, [REDACTED].
Subject identities itself as a "demon eater," designed as a mechanism to "cleanse" the world of "unholy creatures" through a metaphysical "devouring" operating under the principles of {REDACTED]. 
In observed operations, entity has in actuality been shown in testing to more often "devour" fear of such unholy creatures in those around it, or in some cases physical symptoms of what could be considered "supernatural" phenomenae of its era of origin, such as seisure; though its focus on singular incidences makes it impractical for long -term medical use.
It will deny this usage of its abilities, insisting that it is "purging unholy beings," but confessional recordings have shown it admitting that this is indeed its behavior, utilizing what was originally designed as a "lesser" attribute of its origin and developed because it was seen to be most effective on those occasions that it could not sense any "true" supernatural hostility but its services were required. It feels a deep sense of shame at this.
Subject is; however; very capable of engagement with hostile entities of true supernatural origin, able to use a hinged mouth on its "mask" to bite down, with metallic teeth; half of which of are wrought iron; the other half being an alloy of silver and [REDACTED]. It is also capable of utilizing the fear and physical symptoms it has consumed as a "breath weapon," though this appears to fatigue it by detracting from its "energy supply."
Subject may be useful for G.U.F.F. operations, but is noted to be difficult to work with, with a ferverent and prickly adherence to Catholic religious practices of its era of design (Hence why they are allowed to use the on-site chapel) and a personality that has often been described as "fussy" and "no fun allowed."
Minor Warning: G.UF.F. Personnel, do not use religious oaths such as "God Damn It" or "Sweet Jesus" around Subject. It will smack you with its stick, which is non-anomalous, but generally considered to be unpleasant to be slapped by...

SO, another G.U.F.F. entry! This time a play on plague doctors, and trying to figure out a similar analogue that'd fit with a "medieval anxiety" motif. And yes, I was imagining C-3PO when describing its personality.
