31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
28: Your Demon Pal
Demons in the Buffyverse started out as, well, demons, monstrous things from Hell inimical to humanity and life in general. Then we started seeing not-so-bad ones and the term started to be used for people-type beings from other dimensions. Don’t look at the cosmology too closely. When creating a series, make a decision and allow for a few edge cases so it doesn’t get morally weird to have the Scoobies slaying demons on a weekly basis.
Along the way we got characters like Lorne in Angel, who has green skin and blood red horns and eyes but is a total sweetie. We also got some grumpily helpful snitches, human and otherwise. I had one in The Watch House, and after I found this company making suitably bumpy prosthetics and showing them off in photo shoots when looking for visual references I’ve had this guy turn up a few times in Buffy games since. In motion. He could be fun to play as an outside perspective.

Description: red, horned, also schlubby
Example quote: “No, the Devil’s my cousin. Guy gets a title, thinks he’s a big deal.”
Red is the Devil’s cousin. “Devil” is a title, usually kept within a few families, and not all family members are in the running, so some of them have to make a living selling black market mystical artefacts and trading information with the forces of good and evil equally. He can usually be found in a back booth in a dive bar in town, but sometimes has to make himself scarce.
