Dealmaker Demon
Arguably the most powerful and terrifying demon, humans almost never actually fear them. These are demons who for all appearances are human. They walk among you every day. Some hang around bars, others lurk in boardrooms. They often slip into your lives as friends, trusted confidents. Or in some cases, they're just very good at showing up at exactly the right moment. They can give you anything, for a price. Sure, they might give you something small for a token sacrifice. Money. A limb. And later, you'll want more. They'll give you riches for your first born. Revive a lost love, for your soul. There's no one greater at pulling a con.
Basic Information
Anatomy
In all aspects, a Dealmaker Demon resembles a human. They fill the standard human range of forms and appearances. Small, tall. Buff and slender. In general, they do tend to look more attractive, with perfect smiles, well kept hair, and so on. If they look good, they tend to have better odds of ensnaring their prey. They can seem safe, healthy, powerful, protective, and more, yet they'll make wheover they're talking to seem utterly special and important.
Their blood is toxic, as are other demons' blood, but it's not quite the same. Where an Enforcer Demon's blood will burn all it touches, the Dealmakers' blood is known to curse those who touch it. It's dangerous to kill a Dealmaker Demon. They may die, but their angry will strike back from beyond the grave.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Dealmakers live on human souls. There is no exact rate of consumption. All that is known, is they have a physical need to consume the souls of their victims. It's almost more like a drug addiction. A well fed demon can experience a near high from their feeding. Creating greater acts of magic, bigger wishes and deals, will require more souls. It is possible that a demon can perform a wish or act of magic that will kill it. A demon can overdeliver and perish before it has had a chance to receive the agreed upon nourishment. This is one of their greatest weaknesses, if a demon can be tricked into such a deal.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Demons can sense a person's sins, their greatest regrets, and their moral weaknesses. They're able to take in the measure of a man and tell whether they are headed for heaven or hell. They'll know what that person regrets most dearly, what they fear. Every murder and stolen pencil from the office is as clear to them as the sun in the sky. They know about it.
