Profile
demon who deals in the business of fortunes and souls. Makes bets with mortals for fun and profit. Jovial, sultry, dangerous; a looming silhouette ringed by ruby plumes of floral smoke. Once a commanding presence in the distant past, now trapped in a large ornate mirror and hidden deep in a noble's palace, biding time until his "inevitable" escape.
true name unknown
(elephant, dragon)
(has wrinkles)

flavored tobacco:
An offering of this is a sure way to curry favor. He can often be observed handling an intricately carved [ meerschaum-and-horn pipe ] with which to smoke it.
games of chance:
A gambler through-and-through, Goliath takes great pleasure in besting mortals at their own games and pocketing the spoils. He does not play fair.
music and dance:
A fan of the arts, and particularly taken with those of music and dance. A worthy performance may well bend his ear.
meat:
Confined to the un-world of his mirror prison, Goliath is unable to partake in most mundane pleasures. He'll mournfully muse on great feasts of the past.
Poetry - A sucker for flowery outpouring of emotion. Ah, to commit the splendor of fleeting beauty to everlasting word! He dabbles at it on his own, but jury's out on if he's actually any good...
music - Has a voracious appetite for music, and can often be heard crooning some half-forgotten tune.
Dancing - From waltz to tango to lindy hop, the man just loves to cut a rug. Weird, boneless quality.
disrespect:
Goliath will outwardly respond to insolence as if it amuses him, but he keeps a running tally of offenses with spiteful retaliation in mind.
solitude:
Grows bored easily, and loathes long periods of silence and inactivity. He's always trying to stir up trouble, even from his restricted position.

Goliath does not care to fight -- preferring instead a life of courtly luxury. However, he is an old and powerful demon, huge in stature, with wicked claws and teeth. Underestimating him would be foolish.
His horns and teeth are made of this magical material -- a deep translucent scarlet-orange-fuchsia, growing in gleaming jagged spikes with edges like chipped obsidian. Supernaturally sharp, they easily rend flesh.
Wicked talons, quick and sharp. Long and thin like a monitor lizard.
Huge, muscular; can be swept to knock somebody off their feet with ease. The very tip is somewhat prehensile, able to hold and rudimentarily manipulate objects.
sleight of hand - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis sollicitudin elit sed tellus blandit viverra sed eget odio.
swordplay - A bit rusty, to be honest. Duels became much less thrilling once guns were invented.
SERPENTINE - Supernatural speed and flexibility. He also says he can turn into a pile of snakes, but that could be just to fuck with people.
- mind games
- holy magic

FUN FACTS
- voice is hard to pin down, but sounds mature and androgynous. it often has an otherworldly waver or echo, as if more than one voice is speaking. closest vibe-match might be a cooler-headed, more reserved version of [ Zira from TLK2 ].
- with effort, he can communicate through divination tools, dreams, and the like.
- chainsmoker -- constantly ringed by ephemeral reddish plumes. can and will manipulate the shape of this smoky aura for dramatic effect.
- shapeshifter -- as a demon, his form is somewhat malleable. While a general description will remain the same - elephantine, draconic, heavyset - the particulars may ebb and flow as they wish.
- the mirror -- the mirror's surface is mottled like [ mercury glass ]. Goliath can manipulate objects visible in its reflection. It is possible for others to enter the mirror. This is inadvisable as escape may prove... difficult.
- the crystals -- [tba]
- named after the Mars Volta album [ The Bedlam in Goliath ].

Longtime friend and paramour. Mal comes from old money - and while wealth can't buy class, it can foot the bills, which must count for something.
Hired on as a live-in housekeeper, dutifully cleaning up the vamp's messes and cooking them the occasional mundane meal. While Neil seems normal, you can't work with a smile in this environment unless you're a little screwy yourself.
