The Devil is…Cenred! Personally, I find the character of Cenred to be hilarious. He's dressed entirely in leather, he's constantly flirting with a woman that could kill him with a word and he's so obviously full of himself. If you listen to the audio commentaries, they actually admit that the guy's costume was so restrictive he couldn't actually draw his blades. Every time the script called for him to draw them, they had to partially unsheathe them so he could reach. XD
Thanks to georgiaj3, the phantom of electric (Is that you? I see what you did there =D), Riley and Arwen2712 for reviewing, guessing and alerting! And well done for guessing right!
XV – The Devil – Cenred
Key Phrases – Temptation, thirst for power, manipulation by others.
King Cenred was playing a dangerous game with Morgause. She was a threat, trying to manipulate him, but Cenred couldn't resist. He had always been attracted to power, and the sorceress exuded such an aura of it he couldn't help but be drawn to her. Like a moth to flame.
He had planned to have killed her by now, but she was always ready with a new plot, sparking his interest once more. He loved the thrill of courting her, always with the lingering threat of a dagger between the ribs if either of them let their guard down. He was, however, sure that he had the upper hand.
That is until his own guard turned on him at Morgause's order. His last thought was of what happened when the moths got too close to the flame. He'd been a puppet all along.
Aside from his comedic value, I ain't too big a fan of ol' Cenred. He's a bit pathetic really. Always acting like he's on top when we know Morgause is toying with him. I know this ain't one of my best, but I like it enough.
Next time is The Tower! What clue can I give you without being too obvious? Hmm…They are an important villain with many appearances.
