History Characters / BeingHuman

** His dealings with Cutler show just how much of an arrogant, cruel and egocentric individual he really is though, belittlingl all who have no use to him.

* VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler: Although dubious whether she had a choice or not, Hettie, the only surviving old one of the group, agrees to board a plane to go back to Bolivia, calling the original plan 'cocked up' by Hal.]]

* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: Possibly. There's mention of a "beautiful" demon in series 4, and succubi exist. Their relation to this guy is unclear though.

* ChaoticEvil: It's his inherent nature, what he was created for. God apparently made the Devil to tempt and hinder mankind for some reason, partially to act as an example to humans that they can transcend. Hatch comments that they failed miserably.

* GenreSavvy: When Kirby threatens him to reveal his past, he tries to confess it before Kirby has the chance. He's also able to [[spoiler: to recognize Yvonne nature the moment it affects him]].

* [[spoiler: {{Brought Down To Normal}}: After the Devil is killed, the werewolf curse is lifted.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Brought Down To Normal}}: After the Devil is killed, he turns back into a human, finally allowing him to see his reflection again after 500 years.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Back From The Dead}}: After the Devil is killed for good, she stops being a ghost and turns back into a human. She immediately changes her clothes and gorges herself on food.]]

* [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins: it is implied The Devil may have sent the heroes to a dream world, ''while he causes everyone in the world to kill themselves'' ..]]

* [[spoiler: SchrodingersButterfly: It is implied The Devil sent all the heroes to a dream world, from which they woke and killed him.]]

* CompellingVoice: his primary power, with this he could turn people into mind-controlled zombies, convince them their insides were on fire, tell a secret they would never tell, or cause the entire UK to commit suicide
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: his primary purpose

* SatanIsGood: He's not all nice, but he invokes this. He acts in a gentle and paternal manner when tempting Alex and Tom.

* BigBad: Of Season 5 directly. Indirectly, he is the BigBad of the entire series, because he is responsible for the existence of vampires, werewolves and ghosts in the first place.

* DevilButNoGod: God gets mentioned in passing by TheDevil. Apparently He exists, He just [[GodIsFlawed isn't paying attention]], believing (wrongly) that humans are too evolved to screw up without him.
* DevilInPlainSight
* [[spoiler: DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He gets KilledOffForReal in the last episode. The ''Devil'' gets Killed off for ''Real''. Possibly not though as it is implied the Devil has sent the cast to dream reality where they 'think' they killed him. he meanwhile is ''destroying'' the ''real world'' ..]]
* [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins: it is implied The Devil may have sent the heroes to a dream world, ''while he causes everyone in the world to kill themselves'' ..]]
* [[spoiler: AmbiguousEnding: we are left unsure if the Devil won and destroyed the earth. or if he is dead... this is ARiddleForTheAges]]
* [[spoiler: SchrodingersButterfly: it is implied The Devil sent all the heroes to a dream world, from which they woke and killed him, or did they? - no, proberbly not..]]
* [[spoiler: XanatosGambit: potentially, if The Devil may have trapped the heroes in DreamWithinADream , so if they rejected his first offer they were tricked to think they woke up and he made it difficult to kill the dream version of himself so it didnt seem too easy, thus fooling the heroes]]

* HellOnEarth: His plan.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent

“There are a couple of things I’d like to get off my chest. You see ever since you crawled from out of the primordial soup, and flopped on to the beach, I thought ''I'' was the one holding you back. Distracting you with shiny stuff and gun-powder, and then I was put on…the reserve bench, shall we say, and I thought ‘oh well, that’s that, without me whispering in their ears – they’ll build utopia’. (chuckles) … ''well'' deary me, I got ''that'' wrong. ''HE'' made you so he could retire, did you know that? You were meant to be the pinnacle of evolution, the creature so sophisticated and powerful you wouldn’t need ''HIM''. And he could go back to his gardening and his word-search puzzles… but what do you do? You elect leaders that despise you and rob you of your freedom and dignity, you pollute and devour your Eden, you know beauty to be false but you prostrate yourselves before it. you think to be a philistine is honest, to be educated is cunning, you find the lowest common denominator and then you ''dig'' ''deeper''. ''I'' was supposed to be the lesson, ''I'' was the warning, ''I'' was the villain, and you all became my tribute act... there is nothing I can do, nothing in all the palaces of the imagination worse than what you do to each other…you dragged the world to the brink of the abyss. ''Well'' ''done''! And now im just gonna give it that final nudge…”

* CompellingVoice: Has convinced a lot of people to commit suicide.

-->'''Tom:''' I thought I was gonna do something normal. Finally be like everybody else.

* [[spoiler: DemonicPossession]]: [[spoiler: By the Devil in the final episode when his 'Hatch' body]]

* Determinator: Tom manages to run to the hotel from the nearby woods while transforming, without killing anyone. This is impressive enough, but he then enters the hotel and ignores Hal, which all instincts tell him to attack on sight, and tackles the werewolf Bobby into a hotel room. No other werewolf has managed to equal such an act of control.
