Sir Robin d’Art

Background   Sir Robin d’Art is one of Hell's oldest surviving incubus spirits, predating organized demonology and angelic rebellion. Born in the cradle of civilization—ancient Mesopotamia—he was once a wandering spirit of male sexual desire, invoked in temple rites and fertility cults. Where other spirits fell through pride or rebellion, Robin transitioned naturally into the hierarchy of Hell. By the time Lucifer began organizing the Hell Realms into courts and ranks, Robin was already a fixture—a specialist in lust, temptation, and the shaping of mortal perception.   He gained modern infamy during the 13th century in Kilkenny, Ireland, where he orchestrated the case of Dame Alice Kyteler, weaponizing mortal fears to begin what would later be called The Burning Times. Alice herself was innocent—but Robin created a false narrative through dreams, omens, and fabricated evidence. His goal was to sever magical practitioners from their old pacts (gods, fey, spirits) and drive them into the arms of Hell for protection.   This plan worked. Thousands of witches were hunted—not because they were evil, but because Hell needed exclusivity.   For this grand strategy, Robin was knighted by Lucifer himself and took the title Knight of the Burning Veil—patron of scapegoats and architect of infernal propaganda.   He remains a powerful figure in Hell, not because of raw strength, but because of his ability to change history with nothing more than seduction, illusion, and belief.
  Personality   Robin is all silk and smoke—clever, charming, seductive, and maddeningly hard to pin down. He delights in verbal duels, historical ironies, and the theater of power. He rarely raises his voice, but his presence shifts the tone of a room.   Though aligned with Hell, he is not needlessly cruel. He prefers manipulation to torture, narrative domination to raw conquest. Still, he is a demon, and beneath the wit and winks is a being who feeds on mortal desire and shapes reality to his will.   Robin respects those who resist him. He admires witches, especially the unbound ones who never knelt to either Hell or Church even as relishs breaking them and bending them to hells purposes. He is not above aiding mortals—when it serves a greater twist in the tale.   Lilith considers him dangerous and disloyal. Samael distrusts his games. But Lucifer? Lucifer adores him.
