Desire demon

Of all the threats from beyond the Veil, few are more insidious and deceptively deadly than the desire demon.
== Background ==
Far more intelligent than the bestial hunger and rage demons, more ambitious than the demons of sloth, these spirits are among the most skilled at tempting mages into possession. 
Desire demons use the yearnings of the victims—lust, wealth, power—to their advantage. Their abilities to affect the mind allow them to assume disguises and even alter the environment to their purposes. As a result, many who become their prey never realize it. While desire demons may resort to an outright mind control, they seem to take greater pleasure in more subtle deceit.
If overpowered, a desire demon will most likely attempt to bargain its way to freedom. These deals usually end with the demon gaining an upper hand, even when the mage believes otherwise.Codex entry: Desire Demon

== Trivia ==
* Solas states in conversation that Purpose is one of the spirits that can be twisted into a Desire Demon."Wisdom and Purpose are too easily twisted into Pride and Desire." –Solas; dialogue exchange upon following the [Investigate] tree, "Tell me about yourself." The order connects Wisdom with Pride and Purpose with Desire. Likewise, Wisdom is shown in canon to be corrupted into Pride.
