Demon naughtiness: Misery is responsible for depression and anxiety. The fact that both are reported at higher rates today than ever before suggests the demon’s reach is increasing.
Notable background: She’s caused profound emotional anguish in everyone around her. She loved a human, but lost him to Hunters. She dated both Kane and Torin. When at her worst, she’ll quote depressing statistics.
Achilles’ heel: Her inability to remember the things that make her happy.
Placement: My bedroom?
Amun
Demon: Secrets
Height: 6’6"
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Tramp stamp: Butterfly on his right calf
Other distinguishing marks: The darkness of his skin and eyes. He is leanly muscled and rarely speaks. Photos of him are always distorted. His image can’t even be drawn.
Preferred weapon: Things of an exotic nature.
Demon naughtiness: Fosters a lack of communication in everything from marriages to national security. With him, true peace can never be achieved.
Notable background: The warrior is unable to speak without the secrets of the world pouring from his mouth. The listener hears the voice of the person whose secret is being revealed. He is now mated to Haidee, one of the former keepers of Hate, now one of the keepers of Love. Two Horsemen of the Apocalypse (my adorable grandchildren!) owe him a year of servitude.
Achilles’ heel: Revealing his own secrets—and mine.
Objectives: Avoid or cut from the team
Strider
Demon: Defeat

Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Tramp stamp: Sapphire butterfly on his left hip
Other distinguishing marks: His overall asshole-ness.

Demon naughtiness: Defeat is determined to win no matter the cost. He has brought about the downfall of athletes worldwide, encouraging illegal tactics—like steroids—in order to obtain a win.
Notable background: He can’t lose a battle or even an argument without succumbing to intense physical agony and prolonged sleep. Loves cinnamon.
Achilles’ heel: His woman, and his inability to lose gracefully.
Placement: First string, on a trial basis. If he challenges me, he’ll have to be cut. Literally. Lads need to be taught proper lessons so they grow into better men.
