Sheratan is the cute new cat in town, flashing his fancy fashion and flirting with anyone who takes an interest. He’s always looking for a chance to get some food, shelter or just alone time together. What his dates often discover is that he’s really an incubus: A long descendant of Lilith who entices humans with lust to take their energy, their fortunes and sometimes even their souls. Sheratan is open about this fact, even decorating himself with skulls and danger signs, but he knows very well that nobody’s going to believe him until it’s too late. After all, everyone is well aware of the danger that a demon represents; It’s impossible for them to exist in mortal society without a disguise. Maybe he’s a little too into the goth thing, but he’s so cute… You can put up with it for one night.
Keeping his true nature a secret is very important to Sheratan’s preservation of his lifestyle, and his power and infamy have made it increasingly difficult to do so. One stranger caught in the night and devoured was really much more; Sheratan had consumed the highest Demon Lord, who was visiting the mortal world in a similar disguise. Remnants of his royal court desperately search for their new heir who inherited the old, and the Demon Lord’s old enemies all quickly set their sights on his would-be replacement. With the incredible growth in power, these are the lesser of his problems. Sheratan never learned much magic beyond his disguise spell, but he had a natural talent for hypnosis and an affinity for dreams. Now when he sleeps, he slowly creeps into the minds of everyone in town. As mental barriers are weakened, those most inclined to Sheratan will become the founders of the new local demon cult. Their numbers will rise exponentially for every night Sheratan sleeps in their presence, and he takes care to switch towns before too many people start trying to blow his cover. The world is ever determined to make him a god or a king, but all Sheratan wants is to come home with you tonight.
