Possessed by the demon Praxaris, the once noble King Rafferty has fallen far. Once known for his strength and morals, the fallen King has abruptly ceased his crusade against the demons with his possession. Praxaris has thus far hidden that he controls the king—he might reveal that to a favorite pet or captive he knew wouldn’t be believed. Prior to this change, Rafferty rarely took concubines, instead remaining loyal to his wife.
