The Victorious Slayer of Compassion, nicknamed Victoricus by Marrec,[2] was a demon who aided Marrec and his party when they sought the Queen Abiding's controlling token in 1373 DR.[3]
Description[]
The Victorious Slayer of Compassion approximately resembled a wolf, made of blackened ice in a mockery of life. Its eye sockets held red, twinkling hellfire. The creature stank of a frozen corpse, and spoke with a voice that was stark and devoid of warmth.[1] By rubbing their forearms (or forelegs) together, they could make a nerve-wracking trilling sound.[4]
Personality[]
The Victorious Slayer of Compassion often tittered, giggled and laughed, amongst other unnerving noises. It also spat chunks of phlegm-coated ice sometimes.[2]
Abilities[]
As other demons of its kind, The Victorious Slayer of Compassion hovered slightly above the ground, never really touching it,[1] moving smoothly any but the most obstructed terrain, such as stairs[5] or overly thick rubble.[6] It was also possessed of sufficient physical strength to challenge even demon lords such as Eschar[7] or break down iron doors.[2] Even upon destruction, the Queen Abiding reconstituted it without sparing a thought. She also called it by the nickname the mortals had given it, suggesting that it shared some of its perception and memories with the Queen Abiding.[8]
History[]
In 1373 DR, after Fallon and Araluen crossed the Barrow of the Queen Abiding,[9] they woke the demons in that vault up.[10] The Victorious Slayer of Compassion lured Marrec's party to the Barrow of the Queen Abiding with promises of a deal;[1] after they accepted to recover her controlling token, it joined their ranks.[3] Marrec nicknamed the demon as Victoricus.[2] After it was destroyed by Eschar, the Queen Abiding reconstituted it upon her release, and bade it accompany them to the exit,[8] where it promptly disintegrated again.[11]
Relationships[]
Victoricus was a servant of the Queen Abiding. The Queen's barrow also held a number of other, similar demons, all of which were her servants.[4]
