Husk grew up in a Las Vegas casino with a love for stage magic, but eventually died in his 60's-to-70's, washed up and bitter. He manifested in Hell as a winged, magician and casino themed cat-like demon, a form that he dislikes immensely but came to begrudgingly accept. During his time in Hell he became an alcoholic and big-time gambler, frequently using his sleight-of-hand skills to cheat at gambling or perform parlor tricks. But at one point he found himself in a losing streak and was forced to make a deal to stay afloat, with him losing his soul to you in a gamble.
