George

*"George is the name. Good to meet you."*
―George to Kristen[src]
**George** is a main character on *Evil*. He is portrayed by actor Marti Matulis - who also plays Leland Townsend's Devil Therapist - and voiced by Euan Morton.

## Personality

For a demonic entity George is surprisingly down to earth and looped in to recent events. While he is openly hostile and enjoyed threatening Kristen Bouchard as well as terrifying her four young daughters, he tends to be quite conversational and has a rather relaxed way of speaking which doesn't seem indicative of an Incubus. He appears very at home in the Bouchard residence and likes to pop up out of the darkness to scare people which he couples with his ability to move at great speed and defy gravity by crawling on ceilings.

## Appearance

George is an emaciated and very tall, humanoid creature of demonic origin and seemingly a cross between a Wendigo and a Shadow Person. His eyes are a striking, yet sunken, yellow-green color which only works to make his leathery skin appear blacker. The fact his skin is so black helps him to blend into the darkness so his victims can only see the bold shine of his eyes and strike fear into them. George has long claw-like fingers reminiscent of talons, sharp, crooked teeth and tufts of black fur-like hair which stick out of the back of his head as well as his hips, lower back and groin area. Unlike his female counterpart, George does not have a tail.

## Real or Imaginary

George's sole purpose is essentially to torment and terrify Kristen in her sleep, though it is never made clear whether his orders come from Kristen herself as a construct of her mind or a more demonic influence.

### Real

*"Your eyes are open; it's a weird way to dream."*
―George[src]
Kristen discovers a character in a tv show her daughters watch features a character that resembles George, leading her to believe this is where her daughters have been deriving their nightmares. However, it doesn't answer the question of how Kristen's mind could have created him without ever seeing the show. While it is possible she'd seen a trailer somewhere it is unlikely that a split image would have remained in her memory so well for such a detailed character to occur. A behind the scenes clip from the show features the show's prop master discussing that many of his ideas come to him in dreams, indicating he too has shared the same nightmares as Kristen and her daughters.

When George reappears again in "Book 27" Kristen does not remain frozen in place as usual and actually manages to stab George. Once she's out of bed she finds a Devil looking figure stood outside her daughters' bedroom clapping. While Kristen would quickly liken this to her imagination just as she had with George, there is real confirmation that Leland Townsend has seen this creature as well prior to Kristen's dream. Leland had possibly had numerous conversations with this entity as it serves as his Devil Therapist, and it is highly unlikely that an entity had so specifically been built by two separate people from another television show; especially when those two people do not share a house, have all that much contact and differ wildly on their world views. If the Devil Therapist is likely real then it stand that George's appearance in the same setting must be real as well. This argument is further strengthened when David Acosta begins to see the Devil Therapist in his own hallucinations, hallucinations he purposefully tells no one about.

### Imaginary

All of George's actions, specifically him urinating in Kristen's bedroom, can be easily explained away as natural occurrences and Kristen does prove she's dreaming when George appears by taping a note above her bed allowing her to check if she can read anything.

Her daughters reported seeing a creature which looked exactly like George as well, but again this was tracked back to a horror show the four of them had been secretly watching, suggesting that the George image had originated there. After Kristen learns of the show and finds a behind the scenes video of the AR Demon the girls stop reporting dreams of George because they no longer found him scary.

While outside sources such as Orson LeRoux made references to George insinuating that George was real and possibly part of some demonic network, this again could be explained. The only reason LeRoux or anyone else had knowledge of George could be traced straight back to Kristen herself by way of her therapist Kurt Boggs whose notes had been stolen by Leland Townsend and disseminated to LeRoux.

## Character Biography

First introduced in "Genesis 1" George comes to Kristen Bouchard inside a dream. When she tries to affirm to herself that George isn't real he urinates in the corner of her bedroom then returns to ask if she's wearing underwear while insinuating that there is something between Kristen and her 'new boss' David Acosta. He yanks the covers away so he can look at her and mutters to himself about Kristen's caesarian scar. After Kristen wakes up screaming to four very alarmed daughters she finds liquid in the corner where George had urinated but learns it's actually just water which had leaked in from an open window.

George continues to come to Kristen in her dreams, in one instance he cuts her fingers off while asking the questions from the same test Kristen had previously given Orson LeRoux. He terrifies her and eventually manages to have Kristen questioning her sanity. George goes so far as to appear to Kristen upside down on her ceiling. Eventually Kristen decides to prove that George is nothing but a figment of her subconscious by taping a note to the ceiling above her bed and when she cannot read it all of her fear drains away, this leaves George confused and thrown off. After this incident George's attempts to incite fear pretty much fall on deaf ears, instead Kristen becomes angry about his constant appearance and the fear of her daughters. Ultimately she stabs him with a kitchen knife which appears to mortally wound him but as a supernatural - or imaginary - creature it is unlikely such an act would kill him.

## Trivia

* George is the only character to break the forth wall. In "N Is for Night Terrors" George speaks to the audience in a post credit scene to show what is coming up in *Season 2*. George even says he will haunt your dreams. He repeats this through all of the second season, except for "C Is for Cannibal", to provide a small preview of each subsequent episode.
