Demons underestimate Mercurians. Y'see, even though they know that
Mercurians are allowed to be violent towards demons, the fact is most
Mercurians never learn enough combat skill to be a threat. Helam is an
example of that rarest of creature, the Mercurian demon hunter.
Don't laugh. Laurence trusts him. If anything, his resonance as a
Mercurian makes him potentially far more usefull than a Malakite. He acts
as a free agent, going wherever Laurence sends him. Once there, he
investigates suspected diabolical activity for a while, using his resonance
to guide him as much as it can(The Mercurian resonance can't tell you if
someone's a demon, but I imagine it can give you a few pointers to finding
out if they are or not). Once he's confirmed someone as being a demon, then
he strikes.
He knows who your friends are. He knows your job. He knows your
hobbies. He knows your interests, what most people call you and possibly
your favorite beer. And then he sets to destroying these, one by one. His
eccletic list of skills represents the various tactics he has to employ in
order to set about doing this, but in general his modus operandi follows a
simple pattern. He destroys relationships, gets people fired from jobs,
foils any plots in motion, and generally takes the demon's Role and sends it
crashing and burning. The best part is that most demons are paranoid enough
that when it happens they'd assume that it's other demons that are the
source of their problems: after all, they're "The only ones who know enough
about my operations to do it." This usually leads to further chaos as they
lash out at their allies, and gives Helam more targets for later.
And yes, after it's all over he does go in and kill the demon, usually
with the help of whatever Malakim are available. That way when they come
out of Trauma, they get to explain to their boss how the Hell their earthly
operations got so far off-track. And for the record he does practice
similar activities on Hellsworn, minus the killing part. It helps to teach
any potential demonic underlings that it isn't worth the price.
The moral of the story: Demons shouldn't overlook Mercurians.
Especially Mercurians who are welcome at the Eighth Virtue.
