A demon of the first choir, the Choir of Darkness, it is a demon that specializes in attacking other practitioners and can slip through their defenses. It does not kill, but leave the victims in a state where they cannot function without outside help of some kind. It is a feared demon within Jacob's Bell.
It is currently locked away in the Thorburn Manor.
History
Named after the fact that in the Middle Ages barbers were surgeons it is a demon which was named by Rose Thorburn Sr. after being summoned using burning hair, rottimg boar carcasses with the name on it, and a human baby (it was not harmed) and bound in the 1950s as one of Roselyn Thorburn's proudest achievements.
Appearance
No fixed shape. All previous forms only having death, mutilation and a lack of hair in common - and a bladed instrument. Current form of an old, severely malnourished potbellied Middle-Eastern or Indian man. Balding with scraggly, sparse long uneven hair and brown skinned, with a burning hair smell. Carries a pair of shears.
Abilites
The demon itself was named for its abilities and its shears, as such it has medical knowledge as well as capablities related to blades:
- For two cupped handfuls of flayed flesh from its practitioner, it can ensure that blades never go dull.
- For enough blood that it would make the practitioner pass out, it can do medical treatments with skilll beyond the current age.
- It can extend the lifespan of others at a cost of them smelling like it.
- It cannot kill directly, but it can leave victims in a state where they cannot function without help perminantly.
- It can mutilate the soul to prevent practitioners from using their arts as well as potentially barring them from the afterlife.
- It can bypass normal defenses of practitioner's home but it cannot enter a non-practitioner's home.
- It can move between reflective surfaces, such as glass and metal and as a result should not be looked upon directly lest it enters the eyes and never leave.
