Askarana-Khul
Askarana-Khul (a.k.a. The Most Merciful Guide)
No one has ever been sure quite what Askarana-Khul is, save that it is a demon. It may be a demon in the true Judeo-Christian sense, an outcast from Heaven seeking a way out of Hell. It could be
a natural phenomenon, congealed from a primordial soup of malice and pain. Perhaps it is an alien from another dimension. For hunters who encounter it, “demon” will usually suffice. Askarana-Khul craves the energy of violent trauma on the body of an assault or (even better) murder victim, which is both essential for his survival and highly pleasing for him to consume. Its supernatural powers include being able to sense violence when it occurs and telepathically contacting humans who interest it (such as the story’s three slashers, and perhaps the hunters). Askarana-Khul is experienced in manipulating people and considers human lives worthless unless they can end in a way that brings it sustenance.
