The nameless Amnizu

Canon

The nameless Amnizu was a fiend and amnizu who secretly murdered and replaced Mayor Henri Melano in Chateaufaux. The creature's lair was of course the mayor's official residence. The head of the Chateaufaux militia, Captain Domini Tisiphanes, was likewise murdered and replaced by a devil. Once in place, the pair set about corrupting the local population. The Black Watch was created to this end. It was an elite unit of the town's militia constituted through the promotion of the most corrupt of the extant members who were little better than thugs. The Black Watch Militiamen seized, beat, and murdered citizens in the streets on the thinnest of legal pretexts. Those citizens who were incarcerated were never seen again. Fortunately, the reign of madness and terror instituted by the devils did not last long and the roles of captain of the militia and mayor were quickly placed back in human hands. Both devils were presumed destroyed in the overthrow of their regime.

Homebrew

The Amnizu, at the very least, survived the overthrow of its schemes in Chateaufaux. It was, however, captured and imprisoned, whether at the time or subsequently, by the Fraternity of Shadows which is using it and its phylactery to form an artificial mistway between Richemulot and Souragne. Members of the Fraternity refer sarcastically to the devil as "Hizzoner."
