THE MONSTERS AMONG US— CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: VIRDEUS

Hey everyone!

It’s time for another spotlight! A character whose unnatural presence in the world will make you wonder, “just how many layers does this onion have?” as THE MONSTERS AMONG US continues to shock and surprise.

Virdeus

Over 9,000 years old, Virdeus is a man from another era. One who, after the deaths of his wife and child, meets Melphis. And, as Virdeus despairs, the demon gives him the gift of magic. Through which he receives a prolonged lease on life.

Taking on a messianic role, he saves thousands of suffering souls with the same gift he received from Melphis, thus creating a new family in the form of the Demonslayer Guild; a group of magical humans seeking to protect humankind.

While grooming his adopted daughter for his replacement as head of The Guild, a rift in morals and values grows within the ranks of the Demonslayers, imploring Virdeus to seek out Melphis, after not meeting since that very first time. Once more he needs the demon’s help.

With his daughter by his side, Virdeus is a well of guidance and wisdom when they finally meet Seth. Though all he can do is hope that his words reach the newborn demon’s ever more problematic ears. After all, Virdeus knows a thing or two about what problems magic can bring, because fun fact, Virdeus’s name came from squishing two Latin words together: Vir meaning Man, and Deus meaning God. The first of his kind, with a long past laden with many mistakes.
