Rogehpleb, The
Stealing Shadows; Progeny of the Creator of half-beautied life:
In the little
dark corners of Malfeas, one can sometime see what seem to be a pair of red
eyes. While many dismiss this as a facet of Hell's oddities, a clever mind realises that such thoughts
seem to come from an outside source. That would be the Rogehpleb in the corner,
the Stealing Shadows.
While not widely
known, the Rogehpleb do not try to hide their existence, only their presence. They
are very honest creatures, it's just that if they choose to keep a secret, they
will do so. The greatest secret they keep is their duty - to steal inspiration
from other demons and bring it back to Ceto. However, this is not useful to
Ceto most of the time as most demons are unimaginative, especially in ideas of
making new monsters. As such, these demons rarely report back to their creator,
but that doesn't mean they achieve nothing most of the time. Their secrecy,
helped by literally being slithering shadows with red eyes, allows them to
serve as excellent spies for other more powerful demons and occasional as
strategic advisors for gangs, as they can get ideas for new crimes from rival
groups.
The Rogehpleb enter
Creation whenever a theft is committed on the night of a new moon, using the
natural darkness to hide themselves for a time. They are mostly summoned as
spies and saboteurs, as their ability to read minds and steal ideas is perfect
for such work and their ability to keep secrets is incredible, almost to the
power level of 2nd circle demons. However, they lack raw strength in their
material form, so are not to useful for most physical actions in their line of
duty; and finally, the Stealing Shadows are not very well known, so most
sorcerers never even find out about their existence. The intimacies of the
Rogehpleb include Ceto (Loyalty to a
disappointed mistress), Shadows (Home sweet home), Secrets (All mine), a negative one to the
material form (embarrassed for weakness and uselessness), Minds (Good reading)
and New Ideas (Wasted in the hands of others).
