Ellieth

Darklord of Giddim, Ellieth was once a succubus and is now a bodiless presence. For a short time she can inhabit the forms of other mortals, taking possession of their bodies to sow unrest and tempt mortals.

Current Sketch

Manipulative and cunning, Ellieth despises humanity as weak and easily tempted by base desires. She revels in exposing people's weakness: revealing flaws, secrets, lies, and self-deceptions. Another favourite tactic is turning close-knit groups against one another, moving from body to body until friend turns on friend. Once she has control of a host she can freely move from body to body, providing the new host is sleeping or otherwise vulnerable.

The longer Ellieth stays in one body the quicker it burns out, so she seldom stays for too long in one host. Ellieth is vulnerable in a host body; if her host dies it is unknown what will happen to her spirit, which might depart with the host soul. She makes sure to only make her presence known when she is in possession of a host unlikely to be killed outright.

Curse

Ellieth just wants her own body again. She was once a succubus and enjoyed the sins of the flesh, directly tempting humanity. While adept at manipulation, Ellieth is a demon at heart, and misses abandoning subtlety for brazen murder and destruction.

She also finds herself vulnerable to the strength of humanity. If cast out of a host she is rendered bodiless and powerless for some time, unable to take control of a human unless invited in.
