The Defiant Devil is an officer who increases Veils by 10, and Affiliation: Academe by 2.
Description[]
He has considered returning to the service of the judgements. He has decided against.
Obtaining[]
Finished the Repentant Devil storyline.
The Defiant Devil[]
He looks younger than most Devils, but he is significantly older. His gaze is blank and yellow, a wall against speculation. He grooms his sideburns artfully, and knows how to be tactful with less seasoned members of the crew.
| Actions | Requirements | Effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show him your Chorister Bee
It is the sort of thing that tends to interest Devils.
|
Raised brows
"That," says the Repentant Devil, "contains one of the King of Carols. It will go on singing in that gloomy way for as long as you permit."
He glances away and pretends to go back to his work, but you have seen it, just for a moment: appetite, curiosity. He is a scientist of sorts, after all.

| Ask him about his memories of Caduceus
He must have passed through there at one time.
|
|
He looks distant
"After the Well of the Wolf," he says, "the Devils could no longer remain in the sight of the Judgements: not if we intended to live. We escaped through Caduceus into Parabola, the place that is not; and from there onward. We were a people in exile. Not strong enough to take a place and hold it for our own. Not weak enough to be welcomed as refugees. It was an intolerable time and I take no pleasure in remembering it."
|
|
| Ask him about the state of your soul
He surely has an opinion.
|
|
A sardonic smile
"Your soul," he lies, "is magnificent. I have studied the souls of men and of angels, I have extracted the penitence of Saints, I have removed the knowledge-lust from an Astronomer through a borehole in the back of his head. I have seethed a Crown Princess' sister in mares' milk until there was no more jealousy in her. But I have never, never known a soul to equal yours."
|
|
| Ask him about the state of your soul
He must know how it appears.
|
|
He smiles blandly
"It is not worth much, in its present condition," he says plainly. "Too flawed. I could cure you of all that, if I had time, and if I cared, and if it were not just as easy to take any of a dozen other innocent souls in a better state of repair. If you want it improved, you might, I suppose, try your luck at Carillon."
|
|
| Ask him about the state of your soul
Perhaps he has noticed that it is magnificently slimy.
|
|
Beyond useless
"I have rarely seen such a combination of stains, flaws, and disappointing features," he admits. "You are to be congratulated: I assume this was intentional. You could hardly have done it by accident."
|
|
| A Secondment: Listen to the Devil's Suggestion
He has been giving you meaningful glances. He must want something.
|
|
A request for leave at the Avid Horizon
He laughs when approached. "Oh dear, a little obvious, perhaps." His gaze is amused and flickers with intensity.
"I have an idea that might be beneficial for us both. I'd like to improve the lives of the workers at the Home Office on the Avid Horizon, if you don't mind permitting me a little shore leave." Game note: The Devil will generate new Prospects at the Avid Horizon if placed on Secondment there. |
