DEMONS BEWARE
Facing an unspeakable evil? Choose
from these champions of the clothLANkEStER MERRiN
Nemesis: Pazuzu
Experience: I tangled with this ancient evil in Kenya as a young man and I’m ready to
do battle again.
Preferred methods: The old ones are the best ones. I go straight for the good book.
A good round of: “The power of Christ compels you,” with liberal doses of holy water
works wonders.
Employers note: I have a heart condition, so I would appreciate being teamed with a
younger priest to handle the more physical elements of the ritual.DAMiEN kARRAS
Nemesis: Also Pazuzu
Experience: I’m a psychiatrist and I’ve got experience in assessing whether the afflicted
are possessed or simply unstable.
Preferred methods: A rigorous round of psychological testing. Anything beyond that
and I’ll have to go back to the books.
Employers note: My mother passed away recently and I’m having a bit of a tough time
with it. Is it bad to say that I think I’ve lost my faith?REVEREND COttON MARCUS
Nemesis: Abalam
Experience: Look, it’s all fake. And what I mean by fake is that a lot of these people need
to believe something, and I help them by ‘curing’ their possession.
Preferred methods: It’s good to appear to be as classically religious as possible to give
the whole thing a veneer of authenticity, really make it read as genuinely as possible.
Employers note: So, there is a very, very small, and I mean miniscule, chance
that demonic possessions are real. In which case, I’m screwed and the whole
world might be too.FAtHER ANDREW kiERNAN
Nemesis: Corrupt institutions
Experience: It’s my job to travel the world investigating miracles. From stigmata to
bleeding statues, I’m the one who has to decide whether they’re heaven sent or man-made.
Preferred methods: Scientifically testing, and then getting a lot more personally
involved than would perhaps be advisable. I’m also willing to rough up a cardinal or two.
Employer’s note: I talk a big game about science but to be honest I’m ready
to believe just about anything, and I’m always game for a bit of self-sacrifice.
I’m also not particularly memorable.JOHN CONStANtiNE
Nemesis: Any demon, really, I’ve pissed ‘em all off at one point or another.
Experience: I’ve been practising the dark arts since I was a teenager. I’ve had a few
losses, and I’ve let a few people down/die, but I’ve always come out smiling.
Preferred methods: I’m a magician, pal. I’m all about showmanship and trickery, a
fine blend of pissing them off and masking the truth until they trip up.
Employer’s note: I drink, I smoke, and I will probably end up getting someone killed.
Also, I’m very much not a priest.
