History: The Unraveler is a devil with minor ranking in The Abyss. He specializes in all forms of madness and insanity, and is quite unsound himself: he is known affectionately as the "demon patriarch of madness". During the last civil war fought between the Servants of Darkness, The Unraveler was exiled for his actions and banished to whatever worlds awaited. He traveled to the Moon, seeking Azazrael. The Unraveler is now a sort of freelance member of the Order of Azazrael, keeping loyalty to the Maiden of Anguish but selecting only those missions which he likes the most. The Unraveler makes his own in the Grim Tomb, located in the Dinedan Desert in southern Caerleon.

Likes / Dislikes: Chaos; madness; disorderliness / Logic; order; humans, and especially the Soldiers of Light

Weapon (if one): none

Attacks:

Mind Cry
This attack allows The Unraveler to tap into the spirit realm, channeling bitter and mischievous spirits into the minds of nearby enemies. The victims are bombarded with the gibbering of the dead, which, indistinguishable from their own thoughts, urge them to strike at friend and foe alike. The discordant wailing of these spirits will builds to a crescendo, eventually driving the victim mad unless stopped.

Sanity Mirage
This hex causes hallucinations in enemies which force them to stop whatever activity they were engaged in and aid The Unraveler in his attacks. Battling their former allies with an unnatural ferocity, this is a vastly demoralizing turn of events for the enemy.

Grim Visage
This curse gives the victim a glimpse of his own mortality, briefly aging the victim. Imagining itself with an infirm body of advanced age, the afflicted believes it is no longer capable of youthful exertions.
