YMMV / Shadow Police

• Complete Monster: The Smiling Man is the new God of Evil for the city of London and the series's overarching threat. A smarmy, soft-spoken, yet greedy and sadistic deity, the Smiling Man murdered Lucifer and took over hell, with him personally overseeing all the tortures. The Smiling Man then kidnapped the souls of everyone who ever lived in London back to the very beginning and broke the metaphysical rules, ensuring that everyone who stayed in London, even for a single night, was condemned to hell upon death. Still hungry for more, the Smiling Man spreads chaos and fear through the city, subtly pulling the strings from behind the scenes in the murder sprees of both Mora Losley and the New Ripper, and orchestrating the Sherlock Holmes Murders. The Smiling Man also enabled Rob Toshack's ten years of conquest and rule of London's underworld; engineered the destruction of the city's mystical Council unleashing all the trapped horrors upon the citizens of London; spent years possessing and torturing Rebecca Lofthouse's husband Peter; and attempted to drive Inspector Quill to insanity and despair, all feeding into his overall plan to have Hell grow until it devours London.
