Please be patient, The Fraudster is still being written / constructed. For now this message will remain until the page has been finished. This Message is Out of Universe, meaning it does not apply to the actual in universe site.

There nothing to be afraid about! Fraudster... The Beast..? such horrible names for such a kind, caring man... At least to his employees and customers of course! I've done nothing to these people and yet they label me as a monster... how horrible. Come into my office would you, just down the hallway, don't be scared. Lets talk. Just a talk -- you and I. Lets not let this rabble get in the way of our discussion.

Would you like tea? you do you not like tea and prefer something to give you jolt of energy, like coffee. Or maybe you don't want anything to drink at all, that's alright. What about a name? What's yours? Not ready just yet? That's alright some people are sensitive about thoughs kind of details. People call me many names, though I prefer the name... **Dagrus...** Why? oh it just sounded right to me! Especially with my, apparent looks. Now where were we? Now that I've told you my name... Would it not be fitting for you to tell me yours? Oh! nevermind that, I already know! It's so lovely to meet you Gary. Should I call you any other names? It'd be better right? No? Alright then.. Call me Dagrus. Lets talk like friends here okay? How do I know your name? I know everyone who enters this hotel. Its not creepy its just something I know off the get go.. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable.

Now then about questions, I understand you'll have a lot of them, but lets talk about them over dinner alright? Not right now, I've got a lot of things to say-. Why are you giving me that look.. You're scared aren't you? No need, like I said there's nothing to be afraid about. You've encountered those crabs before haven't you? Looks can be *deceiving*, and while they may look hostile with those meaty pinchers of there's, they're as harmless as a fly. I'm just like those crabs, just without the pinchers and television accent. *(Kind of..)* Does that help you? Good...

Let me tell you about myself. This is my hotel, you may have noticed me in some of the décor of the place. I have exquisite taste after all, and I do fancy a good portrait. Everything you see here, I own. From the carpets and to the topmost floor of this place, everything is my estate. You'll find lots of things, here! I pride myself on taking in everyone I meet, wanderers such as yourself, and even some people you call 'entities'. Only the kind that wouldn't muck up the place of course! I would never think of allowing, let alone hiring those mongrels'... But anyway I digress. -- oh! speaking of getting hired, are you interested in a job offer? Cause I've got tons of amazing jobs around here that have your name written all over them. (...) What kinds of jobs? Oh well there's plenty! I couldn't possibly tell you *all* of them, but hey, I'll tell you one that would go great for you. How's about... Assistant manager of my Hotel! Didn't expect that did you? I've had assistants before, but they were all incompetent bufoons who didn't take their job seriously. And yet you.. You I see true comitment and loyality, not only that.. A good heart and soul.. You are just a perfect fit for this job I can just feel it!

Many people are overwhelmed by the mere idea of running a hotel, let alone one as massive as this one. But don't worry, you won't be running everything here. That's my job, of course. You'll just assist me in managing by completing administrative duties, training new staff, managing correspondence, delegating tasks, and supervising staff while I'm, not available. Simple as that! How do you feel?

Uncertain. That's alright! No ones certain of what they want to be in life, and everyone makes difficult and risky choices. But this one is especially special. How much will I pay you? Hmmm. Let me check. How does... 40 an hour sound to you?

Good?

. . .

You're giving me that look again. . .

After this job, you'll never have to be afraid of anything ever again.

. . .

Are you **doubting** me?

. . .

Oh.

Hm?

. . . What is this all about? I thought I made it ***CLEAR*** not to doubt me.

## Description

**The Fraudster**, colloquially known as **"The Beast of Level 5",** or by his assumed name; **"Dargus** (Mr. Dargus)", is a green cephalopodic creature, wearing a suit and tie in a humanoid form. His suit is often matching the color of his skin (green), though this is not to say the entity does not possess a number of other colored suits, with no correlation given to the suits and the entity. The Fraudster is the owner / manager of the Terror Hotel, and is capable of transfiguration of other users into entities, however this is only possible through the use of a physical contract that turns them into such entities. However this process of transfiguration takes a long time and is not immediate, instead taking a long time (around 9 - 10 hours after initial indoctrination), after which the user will be at the mercy of the entity and become a permanent employee of the hotel. However this employment is often not a pleasant one, as despite not being able to vocalize it, these entities are in constant pain and suffering every day due to their transformation. The Beast will get users to sign through gentle coercion and charismatic behavior, to entice them into doing, and the Beast has never been seen to lose his temper or get mad when they do not sign it. However choosing not to or even encountering the Beast is a sign of bad luck when traversing through Level 5, and will seemingly up the likelihood of you encountering more hostile entities in the hotel.

Some employees are more trusted than others and more well treated, such as ones with special roles. As an example: The Bartender, is an entity that has retained it's humanoid form due to its job description, wearing a bowler hat and accompanying shirt with tie, and the sleeves rolled up. His skin is faintly grey and there are noticeable marks in red on his wrists and up his forearm. He runs the various bars across the level, as well as acting as an informant to the Beast on users in the Level, usually getting into personnel conversations with them to get more information on them. For a hotel employee he is fairly well kept when it comes to his previous identity. (More information can be seen in the page dedicated to him).

Simultaneously as manager of the Hotel, the beast is capable of severely and significantly altering the layout and look of the hotel to his desire. However he cannot do it all in one place, instead he would need to physically go to the area he wishes to manipulate and then manipulate it rather than doing it all from one spot. One example of this manipulation can be found directly from the paintings within the level, where his presence is felt the most across the level. Often these paintings just contain the Beast in a slightly green foggy room, though these paintings change slowly to reflect where he is in the level. More specifically, The Beast is capable of spiritual separation (Removing his soul) to wander around the hotel as a spirt. He isn't really in the places mentioned, but it can be considered another entity due to some paintings depicting him in a different place than where he actually is. The paintings most often depict the Beast in the Boiler room, guarding the exit to the level. However, if the paintings depict him in the same room you're in, you'll start to feel a strong sense of paranoia and fear, as well as a feeling of being watched. During this you may stumble into the Beast directly, though not all the time. Alongside his ability to manipulate the décor of the level as well as its layout and general architecture, he has the ability to seal off areas of the level, Such as the boiler rooms and even surrounding areas or floors. The Beast uses this to often corner users and make it easier to reach them. However, this can often work against him as the changes to the level are permanent, meaning if someone where to escape and make it past the entities changes, he would need to wait for the level to naturally fix these mistakes and by the time that it did, you would've already escaped him. He can mitigate this through usage of entities that can directly brute force their way through, such as in the case of Gore Trains, though this depends on if one can even be found in the level, as the Beast is incapable of summoning entities, unlike some other Drighten.

The Entity has also been known to have some small ability to change its appearance, usually associated with things that cephalopods can do, such as changing color, and blending into their environment. On the latter, this blending in often also encompasses the entity as a whole, including the entities suit. This however, seems to be exaggerated to and extent, as the entity goes completely invisible and reappears somewhere else, typically his office or other areas around the hotel.

## Footnotes

1. ↑ They will be mentioned in their own pages, separate from this page or even the regular entity page. It will be linked at the bottom of the page.
2. ↑ However, it is only in terms of the entity. And the natural regeneration effect of the level will fix this in its normal period of time. (Usually hours) giving you ample time to escape him.
3. ↑ As a matter of fact, The Beast is regarded as a pretty low tier Drighten, only being as powerful as many secondary Drighten. He is only as powerful as he is due to his control of the Hotel, and if he were to be removed from it he would not have any of the same powers.
