Marduk

**Marduk**, also known as **Mark**, is a recurring supporting character in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is the ruler of monsters and the firstborn son of Typhon and Tiamat, essentially making him the prince of monsters. After having been forced to banish his mother to avoid her persecution at the hands of Heaven, Marduk now silently reigns over the monster race, would be married to Melusine, and fathered a son with her named Dagon.

## History

### Background

Marduk was born from Typhon and Tiamat and is both the first dragon and monster to come into existence. Much of his childhood is unknown though he himself recalls being sheltered by his mother and was often used to tame his wild siblings.

As he came of age, Marduk heard of Heaven's impending attack on his mother with the intent of slaying her to prevent more monsters being produced from their union which will terrorize Adam and Eve's descendants. Marduk made an audience with the officials of Heaven in the hopes that they would spare his parents but they declined for they know that Tiamat will not submit to them. Desperate, Marduk went to his mother in the hopes of making her see reason and to hide from Heaven but Tiamat was stubborn and directly challenged Heaven. Taking matters into his own hands, Marduk was forced to banish his own mother from the Earth, basically by trapping her in a net, then tossing her into the ocean where Heaven cannot reach her.

### King of the Monsters

At some point, Marduk also heard of his father's more gruesome fate at the hands of Zeus who threw him down a hole and plugged it up with a mountain which caused Marduk to develop a heated grudge against Zeus especially when the god used Typhon's defeat for clout as the unrivaled ruler of the skies. This grudge grew into hatred towards the gods as they were responsible for two of his brothers' deaths which nearly made him move against the divine. However, Marduk was confronted by Heaven in time who, after witnessing the lengths he would go to protect his family, granted him pardon in where his kind would not be harmed but are to stay in lands far away from humans which Marduk agreed to.

As the millenniums went by while both human and monster societies advanced, Marduk would silently reign over the monster world, now co-ruled with his wife Melusine who would then give birth to their son and heir Dagon, and leaving several governmental officials to rule by proxy.

## Trivia

* Marduk shares his name with the Mesopotamian deity of the same name who is the patron god of Babylon.
	+ His battle with Tiamat is an interpretation of the cosmic struggle between the two same mythological figures in the *Enūma Eliš* , the Babylonian creation myth.
* Given that Tiamat is one of Lilith's sisters this would make Marduk one of Charlie's many cousins.
* He is an avid fan of the Godzilla films. He also voices his clear disdain towards the 1998 American version.
	+ Marduk also prefers classical monster films from the Golden Age of Hollywood but also shows appreciation towards the more modern ones.
Jane Beelzé

**Jane Beelzé** is a recurring supporting character in the *Divine Comedy*.

She is the princess of Gluttony, daughter of Beelzebub and Naamah, and the eldest of her four younger brothers Sid, Kade, Aiden, and Bryce.

Jane is childhood friends with Charlie and Lucious with the three destined to become the future Satanic Triumvirate after their fathers. Though she is introverted and moody like her mother, she can also be smart, level-headed, and excited like her father. Jane struggles to be independent mainly due to her parents' overprotectiveness which often causes her to clash with them.

## History

### Background

Jane was born to Beelzebub and Naamah and is their firstborn daughter. Like Charlie, Jane was quite sheltered as a child, prominently by her mother out of her growing fear of her daughter becoming like her estranged son Seth, and Beelzebub's fear of losing Jane to the Nephilim strain she carries within her. As such, Jane did not experience freedom all that much outside the palace. When she was "five", she was finally able to explore the realm of Hell but still in certain regions that Naamah and Beelzebub allowed.

During a meeting between the lords of Hell, Beelzebub opted to take Jane with him and it was during that time she was introduced to both Charlie and Lucious. Though she was nervous and anxious around them, she soon began to warm up to them thanks in part to Charlie's bouncy personality. She developed a close and inseparable bond with them as they grew up. Jane would later become an older sister to four brothers named Sid, Kade, Aiden, and Bryce who unlike her are more outgoing and goofy like their father all while having to deal with their nonsense and tomfoolery.

Her relationship with her father only became strained during her high school years mainly over the fact that she would continuously catch him eating her food despite the fact that she hardly ever finishes her meals only to insist that she would finish them later. This was somewhat mended when Beelzebub gifted her with an electric guitar. Even then, Jane is not fond of the incessant coddling that is thrown on her by Beelzebub and grew rebellious to where she tries to be independent from her parents and show them that she can take care of herself.

## Trivia

* Her name means "gift from God". This is symbolic as Jane (including her brothers) are God's greatest gift to Beelzebub and Naamah.
* According to the series writer, Jane is a composite of several characters like Wednesday Addams from *The Addams Family*, Marceline from *Adventure Time*, Gwen from *Total Drama*, and Raven from DC comics.
* Jane was part of a band during her college years where she was the guitarist alongside her cousins Charlie and Lucious.
* According to a sticky note found on the fridge in the palace, Jane gets lucid dreams when she eats salad.
* Like her father, Jane prefers to "go for the head" when she prepares to devour someone.
* Jane's preferred blood type is Type O.
* She is an avid fan of horror movies.
* Jane has a stuffed toy named Potato that she keeps to this day.
Humility

**Humility** is one of the Nine Spheres of Heaven and the first Sphere overseen by the archangel Haniel.

The first Sphere is reserved for humans who have been extremely humble in their lives.

## Description

Humility is said to resemble the Earthly city of Copenhagen, Denmark except more colorful, bright, and decorated with flowers. Basically, it is perhaps the most "lively" of all the Spheres in Heaven which is certainly a feat.

Saints in Humility appear as average humans but all with one common feature: a bright smile. Indeed, given that Haniel, the archangel of Joy, governs the first Sphere all the saints who reside within the Sphere express nothing but endless joy, optimism, compassion and of course humility.

## Trivia

* According to Gabriel, Michael avoids Humility as it is "far too joyously happy" for his liking which pertains to him never smiling or expressing joy.
* It contrasts the Pride Circle as it centers on low self-preoccupation, or unwillingness to put oneself forward.
Dagon

**Dagon** is a protagonist in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is the prince of monsters and the son of Marduk and Melusine. Playful, good-hearted, yet mischievous, Dagon is a free-spirited monster that wants to explore the world and find meaning for himself rather than just be a typical monster prince. He also shares the ideology of monsters co-existing in peace with humans and gods which puts him at odds with his own people including his father.

## Overview

Dagon is the son of Marduk and Melusine, the rulers of monsterkind and thus the prince of all monsters. Though a prince, Dagon does not exactly take his duties seriously especially since his father is not politically active in the going-ons of monster society instead leaving it to a council comprised of the oldest and most powerful monsters.

Nonetheless, Dagon is someone who is always getting himself into all sorts of trouble, often dragging his companion Mushussu and his best friend Lucas (a satyr) into his shenanigans. This of course causes him to clash with his father, especially over the fact that he would step in between a monster and human when one is about to kill the other. These acts stem from his vision of monsters and humans perhaps finding a way to coexist in peace, an ideology that was inspired by the story of Tyr and Fenrir even if the tale ended in tragedy.

Such contrasts with his family and people would make him the rebellious and stereotypical, alienated teenager but one that strives to do that right thing even if it brings trouble.

## Trivia

* His name is derived from the mythological deity of the same name found in Mesopotamian mythology.
	+ He was a god worshipped in ancient Syria. In settlements situated in the upper Euphrates area he was regarded as the "father of gods" similar to Mesopotamian Enlil or Hurrian Kumarbi, as well as a lord of the land, a god of prosperity, and a source of royal legitimacy.
* His theme song would be "I'm Still Here" by Goo Goo Dolls.
* He accidentally burned his toys when he was a baby after burping.
* Dagon did not know about his grandparents until he was seventeen. In addition, he was unaware of his extended relatives in both Heaven and Hell.

As society advances, so do their weapons which makes it all the more simple and entertaining for War. In the past, she has served as an arms dealer, inspiring wars on a very direct basis.

What makes him stand out amongst most dragon is his hybrid appearance as he possesses hind legs resembling the talons of an eagle, lion-like forelimbs, a long neck and tail, a horned head, a snake-like tongue, and a crest. He is also rather small but compared to KeeKee is several times larger.

## Overview

Mushu's origins are not fully detailed other than he had a brother named Bashmu and that he was rescued by Marduk from being killed by Apollo. Marduk himself claims that he was minding his business in Delphi when the "shitty sun god" referring to Apollo came waltzing in and decided to kill Mushu to make an example of his godhood but was swept away by Marduk in time.

Indebted to the monster king, Mushu pledged his loyalty, becoming Marduk's pet even though he was more of a friend than he is a mere pet and stayed by his side for many years. Overtime, his companionship would extend to Marduk's wife Melusine and their only son Dagon, with the two becoming a duo that fall into all sorts of mischief though Mushu is mainly the one trying to pull Dagon out of trouble even if he is the one who starts the trouble.

## Trivia

* He is based on the creature of the same name found in Mesopotamian mythology.
* Mushu is very sensitive about his size, claiming to Charlie that his small stature was simply for her convenience rather than his default state.

Pazuzu

**Pazuzu** is a supporting antagonist in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is the nefarious ex-husband of Lamashtu who is just as sinister as he is and the father of Lamia. Despite being as malicious as his former wife, Pazuzu despises Lamashtu as she more often than not clashes with him when given opportunities to benefit from a circumstance only for the other to gain nothing from outcome.

## Overview

Pazuzu's origins are unknown though judging from his various one-liners it is indicated that he was present during the days of the Garden of Eden. What is known about him is that he is a sinister and diabolical demon king who rules a small eastern region of Kur, the Mesopotamian underworld, filled with demons of famine and wind.

At some point, Pazuzu became romantically involved with Lamashtu after her divorce with Humbaba and had her bear their first child Lamia. According to Lilith, the reason they eloped was due to them having a lust for each other, finding their inhumanity to be attractive, and tend to brainstorm ways to make their enemies suffer. However, this marriage did not last as Pazuzu's plans tended to clash with Lamashtu's mainly because whatever plan they concocted was for their own selfish benefit. It eventually escalated so much their marriage became violent and toxic, culminating in a nasty divorce that had Pazuzu briefly blind Lamashtu by clawing out her eyes.

After their divorce, Pazuzu filed a restraining order against Lamashtu where she is forbidden to come within a hundred and fifty feet of him. For the following years, Pazuzu is more concerned with stopping his ex-wife's many machinations, but this is not done out of goodness, for rather he desires what she aims to achieve and revels in seeing her wallow when she fails.

## Trivia

* He is based on the Mesopotamian demon of the same name, being a personification of the southwestern wind, and held kingship over the lilu wind demons. He was considered as both a destructive and dangerous wind, but also as a repellent to other demons, one who would safeguard the home from their influence.

A son of the sea giant Pontus, Aegir is an ancient sea monster and the husband of Ceto, the daughter of Jormungandr. Together they birthed a host of sea monsters with mermaids being the first among them. Aegir also rules over the afterlife of sailors who died out at sea.

## History

### Background

Aegir was born to Pontus, the primordial Giant of the seas to an unknown Giantess or female monster. Whatever the case, Aegir is often regarded as the sea equivalent of Typhon given that he fathered the first monsters that dwell within the ocean depths. At an unknown point in time, Aegir met and fell in love with Ceto, the daughter of Jormungandr and together the two produced many famous sea monsters that terrorize the ocean depths and any mortal foolish enough to sail in their territory.

Through unknown circumstances, Aegir and Ceto became the keepers of dead sailors' souls when they perished out into sea to where they govern over the afterlives that sailors believe in. Their daughters are the Rhinemaidens who consist of nine mermaids that personify the ocean waves. Aegir and Ceto would condemn sailors who disrespected the sea or brought harm upon its inhabitants to Davy Jones' Locker while those who loved the sea were brought to Fiddler's Green which is described as a grand hall that is attended by mermaids.

## Trivia

* Aegir is based on two entities in mythology. The first of which is the jötunn of the same name who cares for the souls that departed at sea with his wife Rán in Norse mythology and the second is Phorcys who is a primordial sea god that fathered a host of monstrous children with his wife Ceto in Greek mythology.
Chalkydri

**Chalkydri** are a species of angelic beings that reside in Heaven. They are categorized as being above the Putti but are still one of the lowest in the hierarchy.

## Description

Chalkydri are depicted as small humanoid avian creatures that resemble various Birds of Paradise. They are quite small to where they can practically fit in Charlie's hand but some are purported to be larger than others as several have been seen alongside Putti and were roughly the same size as the latter. But when threatened, chalkydri assume a more eldritch appearance, growing massive in size and is a mix between crocodilian, serpentine, and avian, their feathers are covered in a fiery plumage.

Chalkydri are mainly used as servants for higher-ranking angels though not in the way their counterparts, the Mazzikin, are treated. In terms of their hierarchical structure, common Chalkydri seem to be under the Horae who are the first generation while all types follow Sirin. They are one of the more friendly angelic creatures to encounter but are especially known for their boldness. They are essentially the "office boys" of Heaven's bureaucracy similar to other lower angels, where they are seen buzzing around carrying various scrolls or documents and exchanging said documents from angel to angel in order to file them in the right section.

## Overview

Chalkydri are a species of angels that descend from Sirin, an angelic bird that resides within the Tree of Life. With the chalkydri's introduction, Heaven's bustling workload became more bearable for minor angels. Chalkydri serve as the aids for higher ranking angels, archangels and even those lower than them are always being flanked by a chalkydri that hovers near them alongside a regular aid angel. In terms of who they engage in conflict with, the chalkydri are mainly pitted against the Mazzikin.

They also perform agricultural tasks by the Tree of Life, collecting sap from the tree's flowers and dew that flows from the horns of the Stags of the Four Seasons. The dew and sap collected from the tree is used to create ambrosia which is a favored delicacy among the saints and angels. The first chalkydri known as the Horae served as the personified twelve hours, as tutelary angels of the times of day.

Chalkydri also serve as aids for saints like Apostles or cardinals. They are seen being involved in the festivities of Heaven, with one such event being Easter where the chalkydri hold an egg and the Saints that participate chase after the chalkydri to acquire the egg.

## Trivia

* Chalkydri are mythical creatures mentioned in the apocryphal *Second Book of Enoch* from the 1st century CE, often seen as an angelic species. In the narrative, chalkydri dwell near the Sun and ran its course around the Earth with it bringing heat and dew to the Earth.
* Their name means "brass, copper" + "hydra", "water-serpent" — lit. "brazen hydras", or "copper serpents" in Greek.
* Chalkydri used to brush and decorate the hairs of Eve and her sisters during their time in Heaven.
Personal Demon

**Personal Demons**, or **Inner Demons**, are a species of demons originally created by Melinoë that act as the physical manifestations of one's subconscious fears.

## Description

Like regular demons, Personal Demons come in variety of shapes and sizes but they can be distinguished from regular demons. Personal Demons are born from a person's mind, personifying a specific event or trauma that person has experienced. Their existence is often to blame for whatever mental or emotional problems the person has.

What is interesting about Personal Demons is that they cannot be seen by other sinners but are visible to hellborn demons or fallen angels due to their great insight towards humanity's darker traits. The reason they are not visible to other sinners is because the Personal Demon that manifests from a certain sinner is exclusively made up of the trauma and fear that pertains to that particular sinner. However, it is possible for Personal Demons to be seen by other sinners but mainly by those who experienced similar traumatic events.

## Overview

Personal Demons are born or assigned to a sinner when said sinner undergoes a Personality Audit processed through the Macabre Orient then administered by Minos the judge of the damned. When the audit is complete, the Personal Demon manifests to act as a "comfort inhibitor" for the sinner, mentally torturing them for twenty-four hours in order to groom them to fit within the unforgivable terrains of Hell's Circles. However, the life of a Personal Demon is quite brief as they are active for only twenty-four hours before they "expire" and die.

Personal Demons can also manifest for hellborn demons and like sinners they are for hellborn demons that carry enormous trauma as seen with Blitzø and even Charlie. In the case for Charlie, her Personal Demon takes the shape of her demonic form and is a personification of her fear in becoming a deranged tyrant that is born from all the failures and deaths she experienced in trying to bring redemption to sinners.
Alkonost

**Alkonost** is a minor antagonist in the *Divine Comedy*.

She is a fallen "bird of paradise" that fell from Heaven when she did not alert the other guards of Satan and Lilith's presence in Eden. After her fall she became Hell's weathervane rooster in contrast to her sister Sirin.

## History

### Background

Alkonost lived in Heaven, specifically the Garden of Eden, with her sister Sirin. Whereas Sirin represented aspects of the day, Alkonost was the night. Alkonost is perhaps more well-known for her part in the downfall of Adam and Eve, though her reasonings are not fully detailed, it is implied that she was "drawn" to Lucifer's ideals and charisma during his speech before the war in Heaven. When Satan and Lilith infiltrated the Garden of Eden, Alkonost made no word of their presence and did so as a means to gain favor with Lucifer.

### Hell's Weather Bird

When Adam and Eve were cast out, Alkonost went with them only she was condemned to Hell. Now, Alkonost resides in the underworld and is said to have made a home for herself in the Valleys of Oblivion where the river Lethe flows and where she also mothered the Sirens. It is said that any sinner who wanders the valleys by the Lethe will hear Alkonost's songs echo through the canyons, and those who hear these sounds forget everything they know and want nothing more ever again.

Alkonost is also the catalyst behind the turbulent weathers that plague some of the Nine Circles, essentially making her a living wind vane but contradicting its very purpose. One example is where she lays her eggs before rolling them out into the underworld's rivers, as they flow and reach the crevices of the Nine Circles' outer rings, they hatch and produce powerful thunderstorms that ravage the nearby towns and carry away any sinner or demon unlucky enough to be caught in its path. Alkonost also took to being the queen of the harpies through unknown means.

## Trivia

* Alkonost is based on legendary woman-headed bird of the same name found in Slavic folklore.
Rodney

**Rodney** is a minor supporting character in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is Azrael's trusted and talkative emissary who is basically a talking black raven. He was given to Azrael as a gift from Death to keep the archangel company during his isolated work hours.

## Overview

Rodney was created by Death and given to Azrael as both a gift as well as a means to have company during his lonesome working hours. Rodney was originally a human who died in his sleep and taken by Death. However, instead of putting him through the Mortem System, Death found another use for him. Azrael only scolded Death for breaking a law in the Natural Order but let it pass as it did not pose any significant risk to the system.

Rodney recalls of how Azrael barely spoke to him during their time together and on several occasions told Rodney to return to Death. But as the years progressed, Azrael would slowly confide in Rodney with the latter becoming one of the archangel's close confidants and trusted employees.

## Personality

Rodney is known for his witty and occasionally sarcastic yet dry sense of humor. Even has a raven he tries to make the most of the situation, finding it better than confinement to an afterlife and as such he tries to be helpful in any way he can. As he was created by Death to be an unspoken friend towards Azrael he becomes something of an advisor to the archangel and occasionally going on missions for him.

Quickly, Rodney proved to be a loyal ally and friend to Azrael and company, eagerly helping them in whatever they assign him to do or they themselves should do. Rodney also expressed great concern and worry for Charlie when she was dying from a wound inflicted by an Exterminator blade.

It is shown that Rodney is not proud of the impression he left in his life before he died, expressing great shame and sadness for his crude and often callous actions. Whenever he makes a comparison to a current action taken by someone to his own he displays visible remorse and would make use of his second chance at life by redeeming himself through virtuous acts.
Bermuda Falls

**Bermuda Falls** is a major location and one of the primary settings in the *Divine Comedy* series.

It is a mysterious, sleepy, small town in Gillespie County, where there are many supernatural occurrences. It is the "twin" town of Gallows Creek and the current residence of Cain and his family and their friends.

## Description

Bermuda Falls is a large forested town surrounded by several mountains and valleys. Much like its sibling location, Bermuda Falls is a town that holds dark supernatural secrets where it functions as one of the two thresholds between the human world and the supernatural world. Essentially Bermuda Falls and Gallows Creek are two geographical points linked together to keep paranormal phenomena and monstrous creatures at bay which spring from Tiamat herself who is said to lay dormant between borders.

## History

### Background

Findings such as cave paintings show early settlement of Bermuda Falls began already in 4000 BC, and document their towns and hunting methods. The paintings also depict the dark, inhuman, shimmering shapes that watched these ancient inhabitants in the distance. The shapes never came closer, nor further away, but their presence could always be felt. From where Tiamat now resides, two towns were founded parallel to the centerpoint of her dwelling. The shapes opted to keep Tiamat at bay by creating two geographical points parallel from her body sides that would serve as inhibitions.

The first would be a town located in the North or Midwestern regions of the United States named Gallows Creek while the second would be Bermuda Falls that is located in the Southeast. Bermuda Falls was believed to have been founded right around the same year as Gallows Creek. The reason being is that the settlers could not reach on an agreement on who should get the last piece of land as it held valuable resources. It was not until they discovered mines of gold - ones which were uprooted from a UFO that crashed landed to Earth - that the settlers declared all out war on one another; Gallows Creek claims they cheated on a sacred game of "dibs".

## Trivia

* According to the series writer, the town is modeled after Fredericksburg, a city in Texas.
* Bermuda Falls's name comes from the fabled Bermuda Triangle, an urban legend focused on a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
	+ Bermuda Falls actually makes up one of the points of the triangle with the disappearances of ships being traced back to Charybdis, Tiamat's daughter who guards an entrance that leads to her mother's dwelling.
* Bermuda Falls is actually difficult to pinpoint on maps due the interference caused by its supernatural activities.
Diligence

**Diligence** is one of the Nine Spheres of Heaven and the second Sphere overseen by the archangel Jegudiel.

It is reserved for saints who believed and acted through work ethic, the belief that work is good in itself.

## Description

Diligence is perhaps the most active of all the Nine Spheres, barring the Primum Mobile, and the busiest overall given that it embodies the virtue of work ethic. Its capital city is New Capenna, a spiraling, vast, and luxurious metropolis that only expands in its beauty and resources due to the workforce it contains.

Saints who inhabit the Diligence Sphere all don clothing reminiscent of typical hard-workers like mechanics, construction workers, cleaners, and so forth. It is essentially a counterpart to Sloth in a sense to where it is also technologically advanced but in a way that benefits its inhabitants.

Because of the activeness of Diligence, most of the other Spheres look to it for attaining a competent workforce to aid in their own endeavours. In addition, Diligence also handles in repairing certain technological components used by other Spheres.
Courage

**Courage** is one of the Nine Spheres of Heaven and overseen by Ariel.

It is the fifth Sphere that is reserved for humans who were courageous warriors of faith.

## Description

Courage in a way can be interpreted as Wrath's counterpart. Whereas Wrath houses sinners that were consumed by their anger and hatred, Courage houses those that tempered their anger into that of courage in order to overcome some of the more insurmountable obstacles in their path. Courage's city resembles that of a medieval prosperous kingdom set in the 1500s or 1600s.

Its prosperity thrives from its very own denizens, whose courage and selfless ambition fuels the fires of the Sphere. The saints of Courage constantly engage in all manner of friendly chivalry, booming with approachably rash yet lively dispositions and personalities. Courage's saints resemble medieval knights and early modern soldiers that either sparr or dance in victory with one another, and are also seen training alongside the Powers, angels that are part of Heaven's military.
Латексный слизень

## **Описание**

Латексный слизень представляет из себя просто двигающегося слизня из ***белого латекса***, который как-то может ориентироваться в пространстве и видеть всё вокруг (скорее всего у него есть что-то вроде глаз, так как игрока он замечает даже если тот стоит). По описанию ***Колина*** он напоминает оживший молочный пудинг.

Некоторые из них могут двигаться с довольно-таки большой скоростью, почти что со скорсотью бегущего игрока (а возможно и быстрее, просто в игре не показали :0).

При контакте с героем, он превращает его в обычного белого фурри-волка.

### **Changed и Changed-Special**

В Changed и Changed-Special латексный слизень является первым ***Латексным*** которого встречает игрок. Происходит это в самой первой комнате - при открытии вентиляции, из неё выползает слайм, которого нужно направить к вентиляционной решётке в полу, что бы он туда провалился. Так-же их можно найти в других комнатах с испытуемыми.

### **Changed: Test Subject 22**

В Changed: Test Subject 22 (фанатская игра) игрок далеко не сразу встретит данного персонажа - только в начале второй главы, при входе в первые *техкоридоры*, где ему предстоит убежать от него.

## **Интересные факты**

* Учитывая слова ***Пуро*** о том, что он не может провалиться в вентиляционные решётки из-за того, что не настолько жидкий, можно сделать вывод, что сами латексные слизни более жидкие чем полноценные латексные фурри, а возможно и сам белый латекс более жидкий.
* Если после *комнат с газом* при встрече с Пуро заглянуть в вентиляцию, то на ***Лина*** нападёт белый слайм, которого Пуро, при прохождении QTE съест, а затем скажет, что наелся (милашка :33)
* Если же проиграть QTE, то слизень превратит Лина в фурря с особенным окрасом, который больше нигде в игре не встречается. Отсюда снова можно понять, что слаймы бывают разных видов.
* По всей видимости, белые слизни являются одними из самых слабых латексных без носителя (бедняжки(( )
* В оригинальной игре в титрах данный персонаж называется просто "Белый латекс", но что б никто не путался, туть я назову его латексным слизнем >w<
Nessus

**Nessus**, also called **Nes**, is a minor recurring character in the *Divine Comedy*.

She is a demonic centaur that patrols the Phlegethon river which borders between the outskirts of the Wrath Circle and the borders of the Heresy Ring. She is also the love interest of Geryon, the ferryman of Fraud and former chief of the Malebranche.

## Overview

Nessus is a member of the border patrol that oversees the bordering rings between the City of Dis and the outer regions of the Wrath Circle. She and her fellow centaurs ensure that no sinner or demon crosses the Phlegethon border without proper clearance and any who attempts to do so under their nose are met with a swift demise where Nessus shoots them down and submerges them in the Phlegethon.

At an unspecified point in time, Nessus met Geryon and the two grew to become lovers. Though they barely spent time together due to their schedules they made the most of it when they were on lunch break. However, after Geryon was discharged from the Malebranche and reduced to a meager ferryman of the Fraud Circle the two were unable to find time for one another. Hearing that Cherri Bomb was the catalyst behind Geryon's discharge she developed quite the grudge against the anarchist sinner.

## Trivia

* This version of Nessus is depicted as female in contrast to her mythological counterpart who is male.
* It is implied that this Nessus also had a hand in the murder of Heracles as she once quipped to Geryon when giving him a blanket that he would take care to not wear it too long if he values his skin.
Aether

**Aether** is a major recurring element in the *Divine Comedy*.

It is a cosmic substance made of angelic essence that is sought after by all the denizens of Hell for its enhancing and celestial qualities.

## Description

Aether is an iridescent substance that had been sustaining power and life within Heaven for eons. It comes in many forms, including crystals, liquids, and vapors. As a solution it looks as if the cosmos had been distilled and pushed through a sieve, leaving only the base elements of existence behind in substance that is neither liquid, solid, nor gas — more like pure magic condensed.

It is also used to power Heaven's weaponry, giving them the firepower to utterly eradicate demons and sinners from the face of existence itself. After falling into Hell's hands, it is now the most sought-after substance, eyed by the most elite and powerful demons in the Inferno with many clients willing to buy and extort it for large sums of money. Because of its immense potential and value, the Overlords are at constant battles with each other over its supply.

Aether has also been shown to be an extremely volatile explosive substance as Azazel explained that a third of Sin City's district was destroyed when one of the employees in his illegal arms dealing market mishandled the siphoning of the the Aether from an Exterminator spear causing a powerful explosion to erupt. Aether must be condensed enough to be properly distilled in whatever object it is infused within for according to Mephisto it is akin to "draining a live grenade of its explosive power and bottle it up in something else."

## Trivia

Fate

**Fate** is a minor character in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is the keeper of cosmic order and oversees the development of creation and its inhabitants, making sure everything is running as it should be. He is also the father of the Wyrd Sisters. Like his daughters, Fate is part of God's editorial staff, and whereas the Wyrds are the "editors-in-chief" Fate is the "publisher" of God's work.

## Appearance

Fate appears as a Caucasian middle-aged man wearing a grey suit with matching pants, a white shirt underneath, and black dress shoes. He also wears large circular wire-framed glasses though his eyes are never seen. The only thing that stands out in terms of color is his bowtie which is a vibrant yellow.

## Overview

Fate is the keeper of cosmic order and like his sister Death he personifies the inevitability of all things in the universe including the universe itself. Fate came into existence once sentient lifeforms capable of having a destiny appeared in the universe. Fate resides within a large elaborate tower that resembles the Barclay–Vesey building which can be located at the upper echelon of the Tree of Life. It is from there he manages a vast bureaucracy dedicated to maintaining the Equilibrium of existence alongside other conceptual beings of order and chaos.

At some point in time, Fate created the Wyrd Sisters from a batch of "lemons, spiders, and ice" and were regarded as his daughters before he appointed them with governing over destiny itself. His daughters would become part of God's editorial staff team whereas he would be His publisher. Like the Wyrds, Fate does not control destiny as that would tamper with free-will.

God sends in the drafts of His work to the Wyrd Sisters where they would begin to work on the writing, adapting current and inevitable events into strips of tape, and project it into the cosmic log where it would be sent to Fate via fax machine, and would then review it before publishing it.

Cherubim

**Cherubim**, or **Cherub** for singular terms, are a species of angel located in some of the upper spheres and regions of Heaven.

They are categorized as the second-highest in Heaven's hierarchy below the Seraphim themselves.

## Description

Despite being behind the Seraphim, the Cherubim are more akin to guards and protectors, occupations that make them feared by demons and revered by lower angels. They are more beast than angel but appear to have a unique sentience of their own. In addition, their appearance adds to said intimidating presence for they appear as an amalgamation of animal heads with some having a singular humanoid head coupled with four wings, bejeweled halos, and sphinx-like bodies.

It is indicated that the Cherubim also have their own form of hierarchy within their ranks though it is not fully explored. But such hierarchy may exist which is evident by the fact that Asmodeus was once a "prince" of the Cherubim while Satan was often referred to as the exalted cherub who was on par with even the Seraphim.

## Overview

Cherubim are the second highest of Heaven's angelic beings ranking below the Seraphim. They are essentially the "second generation" of angels that came into existence after the Seraphim whom are the firstborn of God and Goddess. They are normally found by the borders and gates of the Garden of Eden, the doors of the private quarters within the Magisterium occupied by archangels, or even God's throne room. Oftentimes they are seldom seen roaming the dazzling streets of some of the metropolitan cities within Heaven's spheres likely making sure that everything is in order.

Cherubim are fiercely digilant and protective of whatever they are assigned to guard or protect making them rather intimidating to even other angels and downright terrifying to demons; Blitzø states that compared to Guardian Angels, Cherubim are "twice as big, twice as fast, and twice as nasty." They can even act as bodyguards for other angels as seen with Metatron and Sandalphon being accompanied by two Cherubim.

## Trivia

* In Abrahamic religion, Cherubs (or Cherubim) are one of the many attendants of God with varying roles and are entrusted with all sorts of important duties. The *Book of Ezekiel* depicts the forms of Cherubs as rather terrifying, but awe-inspiring: they have four wings and four faces (human, bull on the left, lion on the right, and eagle) with hoof-like feet, and having an aura like burning fire while gleaming like copper.
* It is revealed that Cherubim also act as daycare keepers for babies that ascended to Heaven and became cupids.
Davy Jones's Locker

**Davy Jones's Locker** is a minor location in the *Divine Comedy*.

It is a ghostly undead realm reserved for undead sailors who disrespected the sea.

## Description

It is a vast ghostly dimension where Davy Jones can travel to and fro with his ship the Palatine Dark to condemn sailors at the behest of Ceto. It resembles a foggy, barren, and desolate ship port where numerous wrecked ships are seen wedged between rocks, into one another, even uprooted. The fog that coats the realm envelopes it in a ghostly green glow. Wisps of the fog curls along the ground and soft green sparkles will flicker in the air. The ships belonged to sailors and pirates who died out at sea alongside the ship itself.

The Locker's inhabitants as expected are the ghostly shades of deceased pirates and sailors. Most of these apparitions spend their undead existence within their own ships while others have a slightly more pleasant experience. Sailors that disrespected the sea are assimilated into the 'spirit' of their own ship, never to set foot out of them. Sailors that were seen as less offensive in the eyes of Ceto are placed in ghostly taverns to drink and celebrate though food would turn to ashes in their mouths and they could never be satisfied with their drinks.

## Trivia

* It is based on a metaphor for the oceanic abyss, the final resting place of drowned sailors and travellers. It is a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors' and ships' remains are consigned to the depths of the ocean (to be sent to Davy Jones's Locker).
* According to Aegir, depending on a sailor's faith and sin, the undead sailors wait on a shipping port where they are taken to Hell and condemned to the Envy Circle.
Jerry

**Jerry** is a minor character in the *Divine Comedy*.

He is an abstractum, or an abstract spirit, that works in Limbo Station as a ticket clerk.

## Appearance

Given that Jerry is an abstractum he has no known defining gender or solid appearance. Jerry can change his form fluidly and constantly. He usually appears as a two-dimensional abstract humanoid in shades of translucent purple. He can grow limbs and change size and shape constantly.

## Overview

Jerry works in Limbo as a ticket clerk. He operates the 'soul identification process' where newly departed souls enter Limbo, cross through frame soul readers, which will then analyze their soul and lastly manifest in the form of a train ticket.

Jerry can also manifest multiple versions of himself but are all essentially a singular entity operating as a part of the staff in Limbo Station with the Ankou. The reason why is because there are innumerable paths that lead to the station that regular ghosts cannot access and each one is operated and overseen by a Jerry. More often than not, these Jerrys would guide the departed souls to train they are scheduled to board.

## Personality

While part of the Mortem System, Jerry is quite optimistic and helpful to those who passed away and are about to go through the system. He is quite kind to almost all souls that pass through Limbo Station even helping them find the train they are scheduled to ride on.
