**Damian** is the titular anti-hero of the 2017 short black comedy film *Working With Damian.* A demon who as exiled from Hell for his bad temper, Damian was forced to get a job at a corporate office in the United States. In spite of his temper, Damian is viewed as a model employee by the higher-ups.

He is portrayed by Anthony Gasbarri.

## Physical Appearance

Damian is a demon that takes the form of an adult humanoid man with red skin. Instead of hair, he has a bald head and two large, black horns that curve out and upward, and taper to a point. He has long, pitch-black nails that are presumably unkempt, as one of his coworkers remarked that he needed a manicure after taking a brief look at them.

Damian wears a knee-length black camo leather tunic over a black dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves and an upturned collar. There are several black leather belts with gold buckles wrapped around his waist. He wears white jeans that stop at the middle of his calves, and he wears white and black basketball sneakers.

## Characteristics

Damian has a temper that was reportedly bad enough that he was exiled from Hell, and that the HR director recommended that he take sensitivity training for. He is generally more concerned with matters relating to Hell, as he perked up when the HR director said he was going to play devil's advocate and he became interested in a female coworker when she came to a Halloween party in a devil costume. He still tries to act like a demon, such as trying to get people to drink cups of goat blood and becoming hostile when he is confronted with a coworker dressed like an angel on Halloween.

Despite his bad attitude and obviously-monstrous appearance, the humans at Damian's new workplace are largely indifferent or oblivious to his nature. The company's higher-ups are impressed with his work ethic, and his fellow coworkers feel like he fits well in the company culture and are friendly towards him, save for a manager who wasn't impressed with him during a meeting. Regardless of how well he has integrated with the company, Damian has a great dislike for the human world and his only wish is to return to Hell.

Damian does not have very good text etiquette and frequently misspells words in his messages.

## Background

Damian was exiled from Hell by The Antichrist for having a bad temper. Ninety days before the film, Damian applied for and was accepted for an entry-level office job at an unnamed office corporation. Despite his bad attitude and monstrous appearance, Damian fit into the company surprisingly well.

## Working with Damian

Damian goes to the director of Human Resources for his ninety-day evaluation. Before the evaluation starts, he presents the director with three cups of goat blood and tells him to drink them to meet his maker in Hell. The director declines and goes on with the evaluation after directing him to give the drinks to Mary in Finance. He tells Damian that while there are lots of good pieces on his record, there is still room for improvement, referencing an incident in which Damian was a very heavy breather and reminds him that the company provides free healthcare. Damian then texts The Antichrist asking if he can come back to Hell now, and The Antichrist refuses, saying he can't come home until he learns to control his temper. The HR director goes on with the evaluation, recommending that he takes the sensitivity training course the company provides after bringing up an incident where Damian got into a (presumably physical) altercation with a manager. The director adds that Damian's coworkers have good things to say about him and that they believe he fits well within the company culture, referencing incidents where Damian gives a stellar presentation, flirts with a woman at a Halloween party, and goes out drinking with his coworkers. After the fact, however, Damian texts The Antichrist asking to come back to Hell, and is once again refused. A coworker comes and slaps Damian's phone out of his hand, and Damian sets his hair on fire.

As the HR director wraps up the interview, he tells Damian that the higher-ups are very impressed with his work ethic and that his kind of personality is the kind of influence that is looked for in management. After the director leaves, Damian hangs his head in shame and goes to the elevator to leave the office. He is stopped by another coworker who makes a comment about his nails and suggests they go to a downtown spa together to get the full spa treatment.

## Relationships

### The Antichrist

The Antichrist is Damian's (presumably) former boss who ultimately kicked Damian out of Hell for his bad temper. Damian is still in contact with The Antichrist, texting them several times throughout the film asking if he can come back to Hell. The Antichrist still remains firm in the terms of Damian's exile, and refuses to let him come back until he gets his temper under control.

### HR Director

Like all of the humans at the office, the HR director is unbothered by Damian's demonic appearance and mannerisms, respectfully turning down the goats' blood he was offered by making a joke about how he was a smoothie kind of guy. He provided Damian with an evaluation of his work ethic, and was very impressed with how well he managed to integrate into the company, even wishing him luck after the evaluation and saying he saw big things in Damian's future at the company.

### Mary

The two of them have been seen partying with their coworkers, and Damian seemed to be romantically interested in Mary when she came into work wearing a devil costume the previous Halloween (though the costume may have been a large influence). The HR director also directed Damian to Mary when he tried to make him drink the goats' blood, saying Mary would be more interested in it since she was into rum with flecks of gold in it.
