Burned demon
"I haven't met many Demons, and the ones I met wasn’t half animal, half human they were mostly, how to say, ugly, burned, disgusting and so on." - Dreik Stormtracker
Burnt demons are the most common humanoids in the Abyss. Some are generals who command their own hordes of demons while other belong to those hordes.
They are cold-hearted creatures. While other demons may show weakness, these towering beings show no sympathy. They are perfectly able to feign it, however, and take great pleasure from toying with others. They are especially fond of twisting contracts which they establish with summoners. By the end of it, the demon usually has their soul quick and easy. This arrogance is not for show, however, as their strength and magic are no small feats. They can be dangerous when angered, or when their amusement turns to annoyance.
