Hatul Of The Howling Nights And Lost Screams (Hatul for short), owner of the nightclub The Fourth Circle. Bonafide demon. Act surprised.

The Fourth Circle (from Dante’s Inferno, the circle for greed as Hatul is kind of a lapsed demon who’s after money, not souls) is Hatul’s personal project.

Heroes and villains gather at her nightclub in downtown St. Genevieve and talk about how amazing it is to have a neutral ground, or at least they did until someone said it to her face and she said: “When did I say this was neutral ground?”

She then clarified that it was fine to fight in the club, but she would eat the loser. There has been very little fighting.

If you hit on her asking if she’s a demon of desire, base needs, etc, she steals your credit card and dumps your drunk body in the back alley. As demons cannot be prosecuted by the law as they are not citizens of this mortal plane, this can be a little tricky to seek recompense for.

Likes to freak people out by asking what this ‘heaven’ people talk about is.

Working for Hatul is Atepiel, her personal assistant whose screams foretell death and last call, and Zazip, her bodyguard and a cherub gone wrong.

“You don’t have to go home, but if you stay here we’ll devour your soul.”

EDIT: added Hatul in human disguise.

“I don’t think humans come in that shade of purple.”

“I accidentally put it in the wash with my socks. Look, I’m doing this anyway. Do you know how long it took with a curling iron to do this with my snakes?”

The big mystery is where her giant horns go while she’s in costume.

She pulls off the human mask and they go SPROING, then she gores someone.

“Oops, sorry!”
“shit, that was the lead singer for tonight’s band”
“break out the pocket book of necromancy, then”
