Per TRS Horny Devils has been renamed. Moving tropes to either Succubi And Incubi or Hot As Hell depending on the context.


* HornyDevil: They're succubi, so this is pretty much a given.



* {{sadist}}: They enjoy killing people, disappointed that their murder of the player character wasn't violent enough in one of the endings. While this was partly due to worrying if Frank would be disappointed in such a clean death, they're certainly not adverse to the idea of inflicting pain on others as they lead them to their deaths.

An alcohol supplier with a strong sexual appetite.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

An owner of a rival inn. He's an unlicensed wizard with some succubi under his control.


Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: He traps demons into working for him and brushes off his barmaids if they're mutilated.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He seems like an unscrupulous and highly competitive, yet legit bartender. He's actually an evil wizard with demons under his command.
* ColdBloodedTorture: He's implied to have done this to David and Tom once they mutilated his barmaids.
* TheCorruptor: The militia is under his pocket and they cover for him most of the time. How long he's been manipulating them is never revealed.
* DistractedByTheSexy: If Eliza infliltrates his bar, he won't initially suspect her, due to being enchanted by her beauty.
* EvilIsPetty: He'll steal the inn without paying for it if he's slighted by the player character. This is a pretty cruel idea of revenge, since it effects many people who have done nothing to him.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a wizard, and an extremely evil man.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He puts on a polite and friendly facade, which drops quickly once he's pushed hard enough.
* KarmaHoudini: He can easily become this if he succeeds in killing the main character or if he buys the inn and dominates the tavern industry.
* LackOfEmpathy: He doesn't have much concern for others, brushing off deaths or injury that happen around him.
* NobleDemon: He's extremely evil, but he isn't without morals. He'll spare Eliza due to being impressed by her bravery and will buy the Miner's mug for a reasonable price, providing he's not angered too much.
* NotMeThisTime: The one time he's arrested, it's for a massacre that he didn't cause. Not that explaining that does him any good.
* SealedEvilInACan: He's trapped two powerful demons under his control, forcing them to do his bidding.
* WalkingSpoiler: He's the first wizard the player character will likely encounter, a twist that's hinted at but not explicitly stated until later on in the gamebook.

Added DiffLines:

* KnightOfCerebus: When he enters the picture, things become much darker very quickly. He sets the stage for how bleak things gets later on.
* LackOfEmpathy: He doesn't care why people take loans from him, he'll get his money with interest, no exceptions.


Added DiffLines:

* NobleDemon: Business is business to him and he'll generally leave people alone once they no longer have any use to him. Villains like Frank and Edmond try to ensnare their victims in contracts they have no way of breaking out from while Kovas and Hans will betray anyone at the drop of a pin. Mr Reynolds will keep his word, and the money he collects from his hapless victims, and call it a day and move on to his next mark.
