## Episodes

### Lamashtu: Daemonium

A demon known by a codename as "The Devil" finds out about Constance after surveying Lamashtu, who had recently been exiled from the underworld, with "The Devil" sending Madeline and Sophia Longacre to find Lamashtu before he can reach Constance at the cathedral as the demons see the exiled demon as defeated.

Lamashtu makes it and discovers that Constance jumped off the Cathedral's main tower with the spirit explaining that her life fell apart and that she didn't have a way out, Lamashtu proceeds to take her to a graveyard and leaves her there however she soon disappears and presumably makes a deal with Lamashtu who craves revenge on the demons who exiled him so in turn he makes a deal with Constance to work for her to solve a number of "strange cases" between this episode and their next appearance.

### From the Vault Ep3: The Blood Hunter

Lamashtu is summoned by Constance, who questions why she did so, she tells him that "a matter has come up at Lincoln County Hospital" explaining that there's a possible opportunity for Lamashtu to get closer to his revenge on the demons of hell, Lamashtu seems uninterested however when Constance confirms to the demon that the "matter" is not human he is more enthusiastic with Constance claiming that the being must be neutralized with Lamashtu eventually agreeing.

Upon returning, Lamashtu gives Constance the necklace that a Lamia was wearing and she congratulates him on fulfilling the contract.

### Lamashtu: The Bells of Saint Mary's Tower

A few months later, Lamashtu again answers to Constance who appears to have another contract for him, this time he is tasked with hunting the vengeful spirit of a nun who claims that "Constance has blessed the land of the living with your presence" - following this encounter, Lamashtu heads back up the tower to Constance who seemingly speaks in riddles when Lamashtu asks what the point of this contract is with Constance not giving a straight answer, when Lamashtu goes back downstairs he hears a strange, blood curdling, scream.

Lamashtu is then surprised when Constance interferes with his hunt and she uses a banishing spell on the nun's spirit revealing that the contract was a setup and a fight breaks out between the two where Constance ridicules him for becoming too human and shows him that the number of ghosts in Lincoln City outnumber that of the living population declaring that she is doing this to save not just him but all the outcasts and is here to show them mercy, it is clear that all the time she spent on top of the Cathedral, along with her time as a spirit guide, has sent her somewhat insane - it is Lamashtu who gets the last laugh however as she shows her his true form after casting a shadow of it on a wall behind her causing Constance to hold her head in shock this is shortly followed after by Lamashtu blinding her with a fireball and then finishing her off with another out of sheer rage because of the betrayal.

Constance proceeds to beg Lamashtu for help, as she lies on the floor dying, however Lamashtu declares that he will now show her mercy and takes her back to her post at the top of the Cathedral and as the sunrises, a visibly emotional Lamashtu says goodbye to Constance as she is taken by a strange bright light and seemingly put to rest.

### 4.04: The Demon That Walked Amongst Man

Constance is one of Lamashtu's visitors as he is being held in the dungeons of The Underworld awaiting trial, she appears younger than the last time Lamashtu saw her, Lamashtu seems in shock as he had to kill an older Constance (in their last encounter) due to her duties as a guide driving her insane it is however revealed that her insanity saw her fall down instead of ascend up, she then reassures the demon that he did the right thing regardless of how he feels - she re-emerges later after the demon shares an intense encounter with Madeline Longacre and Constance states that she can only help Lamashtu in certain ways or will be sentenced to banishment.

During the trial, Constance can be seen whispering something to herself - she soon tries to aid Lamashtu out of his death sentence by attacking the Executioner, she is no match however and is struck down by The Executioner's sword however this proved to be a distraction as Lamashtu regained his power shortly after this, revealing what Constance whispered was a spell to get Lamashtu's power back, the demon then stabs The Executioner in the heart with his hidden blade, which had been dipped in Constance's blood thus making it unofficially holy.
