**Amdusias** is a cursed centaur demon and a duke in the Ars Goetia.

## Appearance

Amdusias appears as a centaur demon with pale skin and black horse haunches. He has black horse ears. He has long, medium-brown hair that's straight and tied back into a ponytail that's usually draped over his shoulder. His eyes are dark blue with black sclera. He has small white horns coming out of his head, and he has a horse tail the same color as his hair. He wears a blue shirt with elbow-length sleeves that's lined with white, a brown plaid scarf, a leather belt around his waist, grey arm armor with black gloves, and grey horse armor on his legs.

## Personality

Amdusias is a fun-loving, light-hearted demon who loves a good time and having fun with his friends. He spends a lot of time with his friend Stolas, even when the latter is trying to work. Amdusias hates work and being in a position of higher power with all the work and responsibility that comes with it. He loves being athletic and being on the move. He's very extroverted and he loves talking to people, and others have said that's he's a very likeable and sociable person.

## History

Amdusias was born as a prince in a kingdom on another continent from the kingdom Stolas grew up in, and Amdusias and Stolas were casual pen pals. Amdusias did have a few other friends though, who were the princes of neighboring kingdoms to his. These were Forneus, Flauros, and Bunerius. The four friends had one thing in particular in common- each of them had a firefly in a jar that they'd had since they were all children, that they intended on releasing when they came of age. Well, that time came, and Amdusias went out that night to release his. He opened the jar and let the "firefly" out, but something immediately felt... wrong. As soon as he let the small creature out he felt a burning pain in his hip, and actually fell back against a tree from the shock. He then heard a tiny voice scolding him. As he discovered, the "firefly" was actually a fairy, a small fae-based creature with magical abilities, and she was less than pleased about being trapped in a jar for all those years. The fairy cursed Amdusias and left, promising to "free her sisters" and enact the same punishment on his friends. Amdusias ended up passing out from the shock and the pain, and when he awoke he'd been turned into a centaur. After the initial panic faded, he tried his best to get accustomed to his new body and took off into the night, desperate to reach his friends and warn them before they too were cursed. Unfortunately, he would not reach them in time, and they were cursed as well. Time passed, and eventually the four of them were brought to the Underworld and turned into demons after striking a deal with Marcius. He would eventually join the Ars Goetia after learned how to use the abilities granted to him as a demon.
