Background
Baroques, even among other demons, inspire disgust and revulsion. They are completely chaotic creatures, created from the union of dozens of small fragments of different evil souls with a minor Fifth Hierarchy demon. As a result, these twisted creatures are born with the power to alter natural laws; everything around them constantly mutates. Their bodies, large masses of flesh filled with arms, legs, wings, and heads, continually change. Every moment, new limbs emerge while others disappear, creating a strange feeling of instability in those who see them. They do not have a particular native color, but rather slowly alter it across the visible spectrum.
The Baroques are, at least compared to other demons of the same status, ignorant and undisciplined. They tend to disobey orders and to act on their own initiative. Their interest in the souls of the dead is limited to a voracious appetite that drives them to consume, but they care very little for the power they gain. Killing someone just to taste the spiritual remains of his soul is more than enough. They dislike the company of other demons, except other Baroques, and only follow the instructions of Third Hierarchy demons when violently forced to.
