The Demon

A silhouette of The Demon from Wh4t\_Went\_Wr0ng?

**The Demon** - possibly being referred to as **Satan** or **Lucifer** - is a supporting character within the Harmony & Horror linked to the deterioration of Martin Greywhinder and the rest of the family.

## Personality

The Devil behaves the same way as he does in modern folklore: damning the wicked for their sins in life. He is manipulative, as he made a deal with Martin Greywhinder, taking his soul in exchange for Martin's business to succeed. He shows little to no remorse for protecting the rest of the Greywhinder family from Martin's actions after the deal is struck, implying he wishes for the continuous downfall and/or chooses to actively stay put.

## Appearance

In Are\_Y0u\_HappY?, Marcus informs Andrew that he woke him up from a dream. He says, “*I was dreaming about a man dressed in red, with ice cream cones on his head.*” As he turns towards the viewer. Andrew dismisses this and tells him that’s ridiculous.

In Wh4t\_Went\_Wr0ng?, the Toymaker is making threats to the two children, Marcus & Andrew. He is soon interrupted by the Devil himself but is never made visible in the tape directly. There is a shadow of him with a red aura glowing around him that looms upon the Toymaker. From what is visible, the Devil has a human shape with tall horns protruding from his head.

## Story

### **Are\_Y0u\_HappY? & Wh4t\_Went\_Wr0ng?**

In the tapes *Are\_Y0u\_HappY?* and *Wh4t\_Went\_Wr0ng?*, The Toymaker (off-screen) had struck a deal with The Devil to try and make the perfect toy. This reflects back onto the reality for Martin Greywhinder as he began to work with satanic rituals in hopes of making his toys more "*lifelike*" for his business to succeed. As The Toymaker recites to Markus and Andrew during the first tape, his toys can blink, walk, eat and talk. But, his toys cannot see, dance, taste or sing. In fear of not being successful again, he tries to recruit the two boys to fetch the tools necessary for him to make the "*perfect toy*". The plan starts off successful as the boys find all the items he requests but Andrew is adamant about giving up Banzo to him. Markus forces Andrew to not be square and give their companion to The Toymaker as the tape cuts out and returns back to the group reuniting to see the final product. It doesn't end well as the tape quickly cuts out with distorted screams from the children.

After failing yet again to make the children happy and have a working toy (the second tape), The Toymaker begins to break down and blames the boys for his mistake. He even goes as far as to blame Andrew directly as to why the toy became dysfunctional, stating that if he hadn't have doubted him and his handiwork, the toy would have been perfect. Before any further damage can be caused, The Devil makes his final appearance as he gradually appears in the frame. This leads to The Toymaker stepping back in fear, pleading for more time and that he won't mess up again before the camera instantly zooms in on his terrified expression. A distorted song plays in the background as the second tape ends.

### **My Two Front Teeth**

In *My Two Front Teeth*, The Devil plays a significant role within the short as the main antagonist. He is first spotted before Uncle Arthur's arrival to the cabin, watching from the outside windows. He is then spotted during Sofia's song about wishing for her two front teeth as the song distorts and showcases cryptic text alongside a shaking goat's head. When Martin takes the children's Christmas letters to the mailbox, The Devil stalks, hunts and eventually kills him off-screen before targeting each other family member.

### **Relation to the detrition of the Graywinder family**

Due to H&A Toys failing, Martin turned to make a deal with the devil to give him the power to make the toys more "life like". This allowed martin to kill people and then stuff their remains into toys to bring them back to life.

To get his first victims, he made a broadcast that would cause people who watch it to die. 2 children died to the broadcast as well as Martin's intern, Amy Wiston. Martin turned all of them into henry dolls. While Martin was taking the bodies of the 2 children he hit bonzo. He the turned Amy into a henry doll and bonzo into a Stichbuddy Doll.

Martin then killed his brother, Arthur, when he came to break the news that he and Gloria, martin's wife, away until he was mentality stable again. He then stuffed his brother into a new mascot called the ice cream man.

Martin next used the ICM to kill his son, Tomas. After Tomas nagged his farther for a toy, martin sent him to his room and said he would "surprise" him at midnight. He did so l night, with the "surprise" being the ice cream man killing Tomas. Tomas was then turned into a Henry doll.

Martin then killed his wife and 2 remaining children, Macy and Ava, after Gloria attempted to flee the house when Martin ponied a gun at her and gave her 10 seconds to escape when she came to confront him about where Tomas went. Macy was turned into a Sofia doll while Ava was turned into a new doll.

Gloria was not turned into anything and instead came back as ghost who haunted Martin to try to turn him back to the man he loved.

Eventually, the devil took control of the ICM to attack and attempt to kill Martin for failing his part of the deal. While its unkown if it succeeded, if Martin did die, its possible the devil re-animated him in his clown suit as punishment.

## Trivia

* The Devil could be able to mimic voices as seen in "*My Two Front Teeth*" as something lures Henry out of his room using Uncle Arthur's voice.
* He has never been an active threat himself unlike his appearances in the cartoon-styled tapes, choosing to manipulate and take control of the Greywhinder family instead.
* It is suspected that The Devil likely controlled The Ice Cream Man temporarily in hopes of killing Martin for his failure to for-fill his side of the deal.
	+ It also could be possible that The Devil still had control of Arthur by the time he opened Harmony Arcadia and used him to kill more unsuspecting victims via the Henry Security Puppets.
* Its possible that the devil manipulated the Wh4t\_Went\_Wr0ng? to warn martin to fulfill his end of the deal or face its wrath. It also could be Gloria did this to get him to back out of the deal or get killed as reviled in Ple4se\_C0me\_B4ck\_T0\_M3 she had manipulated the tapes we've been watching to try to change him back to the man she loved.
