YMMV / Felix Castor

• Complete Monster
  • The Devil You Know: Lukasz Damjohn, originally from the Balkans, established himself in England as a pimp and a slaver who has girls lured over from Eastern Europe and summarily enslaved, with "high earners" sent to high-class brothels while the others go to horrible ones where they can be brutalized and wasted, while addicted to drugs to ensure their dependence. Their "training" includes mental breaking, along with rape and occasional physical violence. When a girl is accidentally killed by a recruiter, Damjohn attempts to have Felix destroy the girl's ghost and send her to oblivion. He also has his personal exorcist summon up a succubus to devour Felix body and then his soul. When Felix gets too close to the truth, Damjohn has the dead girl's sister kidnapped to lure Felix out, sparing her only because he intends for her to make him money until she's too "wasted" to work any more.
  • Vicious Circle: Anton Fanke is the head of a Satanist church in America and desires Hell on Earth. Fanke's lover and right-hand woman seduced an exorcist, getting herself pregnant in an occult ritual so Fanke could raise the little girl as a sacrifice to the demon Asmodeus, also allowing Asmodeus access to the world to bring about destruction and ruin. Fanke managed to sacrifice the child, but when her father interfered, Asmodeus could not devour her soul and Felix unknowingly bound Asmodeus into a mortal host at the same time. Years later, Fanke has several people killed before murdering his old rival and pinning the blame on Felix, before preparing to finish the sacrifice by having Asmodeus eat the soul of the girl he murdered.
  • Asmodeus himself (who also appears in later books), once freed from the asylum he was locked in while in the body of Felix's best friend, slaughters everyone in the near vicinity, and proceeds to hunt down everyone close or formerly close to his host body, whereupon he mutilates them before murdering them; he even travels to Macedonia to personally slaughter his host's brother on death row while telling said host to "count down to zero" so he'll see everyone he loves killed. Asmodeus plants wards to steadily weaken the self control of Felix's succubus ally Juliet (which could put any man around her in mortal danger) and kidnaps Juliet's human wife with promises to rape and torture her to make Juliet angry enough to attempt to devour Asmdoeus, allowing Asmodeus to free himself while his host is eaten. During one of his murders Asmodeus even kills a nearby homeless man just for his shoes. He also uses Exact Words to torment Felix during an exorcism, preventing him from saving the mortal host. While angry at being bound to the mortal host, Asmodeus had previously been evil and sadistic, even to other demons; he worked with Fanke to bring about Hell on Earth.
• Squick: Lots of it, but the method of Abbie Torrington's conception sort of sticks in the mind.
• The Woobie: Several per book, many of them already technically dead, but especially Abbie Torrington.
