Plunge yourself into the darkness you so choose to deny and let me take hold of you, Haerin. "You let the dragon rest its vestige within yourself, so let me have a go at it." This phrase echoes in your mind as you witness Haerin's vessel crack and tear, the darkness around you consumed by your abyss. That feeling of darkness inside him twisting and rippling, as you finally accept what you are. A monster.
"Let me use you this time, to reside in your vessel as your vestige for just a moment and let me free, fully. Cut yourself, let the blood linger on your blade as you slowly tear apart from the inside out, my body replacing yours for just a moment... But fret not, once I'll be done. Once everything that stands in your way is dead. That I promise."
Baam: The endless night, the constant darkness that Haerin had let fester within him for far too long. Does it have his best interest at heart, is it simply not using him? Great question.
Baam's appearance is that of a younger Haerin, yet with many things amiss. White hair, blackened out eyes, blackened out smile, a smooth almost featureless face with just a large, uncanny smile plastered onto it, unmoving, unchanging, even when expressing other emotions, as though it were a mask over its true form.

As Mr. Kind invoked his powers, sigils glowed with a faint, pulsating light. Flanked by two of King Paimon's familiars, his eyes gleamed with anticipation. With a subtle gesture, he beckoned them forth, and they responded, their forms coalescing from the surrounding shadows. Like wraiths materializing from the darkness, they took shape, their eerie visages reflecting the eldritch power that coursed through them.
The familiars appeared as crouching, bent shadowy, cat-like in their movements, creatures. The impish long limbed forms, pulsing with eldritch light. Seemingly made of coalescing smoke, thick like burnt scentless rubber vapors, and void-like spaces. That bore glowing embers floating among the motes of starlight in the not entirely real substance. Chain-like tails, claws, and spines, the winged Gaunts stalked forward, their more shadow than substance forms, gaining substance.
Thin, and black, with bat-like wings and a long, spiny tail. They have no facial features, and their skin is smooth and rubbery.. With a final word, Mr. Kind stood as a master of the creatures forming around him, his ambitions soon to be realized with the aid of King Paimon's familiars.
"He can bestow dignitaries and provide familiars against enemies while binding anyone resisting him in his own chains." Daily kind smiles as he speaks.
The first King of Hell that Mr. Kind bargains with is Paimon. Paimon is known as a powerful entity who holds vast knowledge and abilities. He teaches all arts, philosophy, and sciences, unveiling secret truths and mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water. Paimon can reveal the depths of the mind and answer any inquiry the conjurer desires. Furthermore, he grants good familiars, bestows dignities, and binds individuals to the conjurer's will.

Colvin grimaces, and disappears from sight. To most people, it looks like he has simply disappeared, like he never was. To a highly accurate observer, however, they realize that the change was not with their surroundings…it was with their own vision. It is like someone has placed a picture of the scene without Colvin in it in their visual organ (for most people, their eyes). Blinking heavily, focusing their mind on dispelling the fog someone can get the glamour to dissipate from their sight for a moment, seeing the scene as normal…potentially making out Colvin if he is within their sight.
This is one of the most common magics of the Fae—glamour…the ability to confuse and muddle mortal vision. It was granted to Colvin by the Spear of the Wild Hunt, upon completion of a ‘hunt’. Though the Wild Hunt was led by ghostly leaders of legends, and Norse Gods, its ranks were oft made up of Fae…those cruel, capricious torturers. Though he despises Fae, the spear is beginning to turn Colvin into something beyond human. Not fully Fae, but not fully mortal either. It is beginning to make him a Member of the Wild Hunt.
