Envy demon

Envy demons are one of the rarer known varieties of demon. They are consumed by the need to not only emulate mortal beings, but become them.
== Background ==
The Chantry teaches that envy of the living was the first new thing spirits actually created.Canticle of Threnodies 5 Envy demons are among the most insidious spirits of the Fade. They seek out hosts of significant merit, specially those who hold a position of leadership, then study them. They may spend weeks doing soCodex entry: Envy's Dogma, carefully observing their target's mannerisms and interactions with others. Once they have learned enough to emulate their target's psyche, they assume their target's physical form and identity. The original person becomes almost impossible to recognize from the demon, who is a perfect replica of its target. Its mannerisms, tics, and opinions are identical to those of the original person. The unfortunate soul is usually quietly disposed of thereafter, so as to eliminate any possibility of controversy.
Despite their ambition, envy demons are also cowardly. They are cautious not to alert those they have deceived to their true identity. They usually flee if they are exposed, retreating behind arcane barriers of their devising. Envy demons are weakest when they are moving from one body to another.
According to Knight-Templar Delrin Barris, the rank and file of the Templar Order aren't trained in confronting envy demons since they are so rare. Veteran members of the Order know well enough to fight them, and can nullify their defenses if provided with sufficient lyrium.Champions of the Just
