Demascus

Demascus is a Sloth Demon who came to be after the Fifth Blight. He was discovered by an Orlesian mage going through The Harrowing. The mage failed and Demascus escaped. He slayed all of the templars in the Harrowing Chambers and used blood magic to exit the Circle Tower in Orlais. He then made his way to Fereldan to escape the templars chasing after him. Upon his arrival in Fereldan, Demascus met a mage named Brutus who joined Demascus during his travels. They journeyed all over Fereldan. They soon came upon Black Marsh where they discovered the remains of a tower once owned by The Baroness. Demascus decided to set up a safe haven in Black Marsh where runaway mages could stay. Within the month twenty-three mages had set up camp in the remains of Black Marsh and Demascus put Brutus in charge of training the mages. A week later, thirteen more mages arrived in Black Marsh and they too were put under Brutus' watch. Knight Commander Tavish became frustrated with this and gathered around sixty templars to join him. They then marched to Black Marsh and began their assault. Watching the battle from his tower, Demascus chose to wait to join the fray and see how his mages did. The templars soon got the advantage, capturing mages and killing others. Demascus then made the decision to join the fight. He exited the fortress and summoned other demons to aid him. Seeing this Brutus and the other mages joined the templars in battling Demascus and his demons. Angered by this, Demascus showed his true form and killed Brutus and the mages in the process. He continued to fight the templars sending more and more demons at them. Knight Commander Tavish then sent one of his templars to Vigil's Keep to get aid in the fight. The templar arrived at Vigil's Keep and was able to get the Grey Warden, Nathaniel Howe to aid the templars. They returned to Black Marsh and aided Tavish and the templars in defeating Demascus sending him back into the Fade. Howe knew the fight was not over and joined Tavish in entering the Fade to destroy Demascus once and for all. They arrived in the Fade and battled the demons inhabiting it. Howe and Tavish then came to where Demascus had enterd the Fade from and prepared to fight him. Demascus transormed into Arl Rendon Howe hoping to persuade Nathaniel into joining him. Nathaniel Howe refused and then the fight began. During the battle, Demascus knocked Nathaniel Howe to the ground and fought Tavish. Tavish attempted to drive his sword into Demascus' heart, but Demascus turned the tables on him and killed him with his own sword. Howe then got back up and used his grandfathers' bow the slay Demascus and end his reign of terror once and for all.
