Sabazios

Sabazios is a secondary character of Blackwater. He is one of the only non-human species within Blackwater. Once deemed the skyfather of the Phrygians, now he is the god of manipulation.

## Appearance

Sabazios is a large, elongated, shapeshifting, black hand. The hand is made from the local salveoleum preserves in Blackwater and can emerge anywhere from the ground. He can form either one large hand or many smaller hands willingly. He is also known to shapeshift into any being he wants such as any of the residents on command. When punched or bruised he turns into a pool of black oil which he is made from but may emerge back into his hand form showing that he is quite sturdy.

## Personality

Sabazios is a mysterious entity whose main intentions are unknown. Even though he is a servant with whoever owns the hand sculpture he is very selective with how he treats his masters. He is abusive to Alison and would often punch her across the head whenever she doesn't give him what he wants. Even when he was owned by Samoa he would often ignore his commands as they were often selfish and he gained nothing from it. However, he treats Ginger with much more respect and would rather be her master instead. At first, their relationship was rocky at the start he grew to respect her and side with her.

## Personal Life

He used to be a human just like the rest of the characters but the original person's hand was severed and was sacrificed into a new being, who took on the personality and mind of the namesake God he is based on. Before he was worshipped and his followers offered him hand sculptures as tribute. However, after some time his existence was met with trouble with the Grim Reaper who ultimately exiled him into one of the sculptures. The explanation for his exile was meant to hide his true powers from the real world that could ultimately end civilization. Years pass, and he is found by individuals who use his power for selfish reasons. It is not known if their intentions were good in the first place but Sabazios ultimately made them all 'go missing' when they stepped out of line. In the current story, he meets Ginger who reveals her unselfish nature and willingness to help the ones who have passed on unfairly. Eventually he turned into Ginger's personal handy assistant. The state of the original person who was sacrificed is still a mystery but he states that he was 'too unimportant to mention'.

## Throughout the Series

Sabazios acts as a personal assistant and database to anyone within Blackwater. He can fulfill tasks and help residents in whatever way is asked of him. However, he cannot help any of the Oilers due to Ginger's disrespect of the group and his obedience to her. His main entity and full size lies within the castle's prison keeps. He often tells stories to the Oilers shares information with them that wouldn't get him in trouble with Ginger.
