Count Furfur/Furtur in "canon"
From Wiki:
Furfur (other spelling: Furtur) is a powerful Great Earl of Hell, being the ruler of twenty-nine legions of demons. He is a liar unless compelled to enter a magic triangle where he gives true answers to every question, speaking with a rough voice. Furfur causes love between a man and a woman, creates storms, tempests, thunder, lightning, and blasts, and teaches on secret and divine things. He is depicted as a hart or winged hart, and also as an angel. To some authors he changes from hart into angel when compelled to enter the magic triangle. 'Furfur' or 'furfures' in Latin means "bran". However it seems more likely that the name is a corruption of 'Furcifer' the Latin word for scoundrel. |
Furtur
Physical Description:
Optional Details:
|
Personality:
Clothing/Other:
- He kind of has a terrible personality...
- He's a compulsive liar. If the summoner forces Furtur in a magic triangle, then he's compelled to tell the truth. He sometimes manages to be candid around his best friend, Stolas.
- He's often summoned by jilted lovers or stalkers who want to make the object of their desire fall in love with them or by warmongers who want to use his power. Because of this he is wary of humans, bordering on distaste and dislike. Unlike Stolas, he derives no joy from being summoned, but does like to mess around and manipulate people when he's called.
- Sultry, secretive, mysterious, kind of seedy.
- Slightly kleptomaniac tendencies.
- He thrives on the esoteric and clandestine and can be found in the shadows of conspiracies, espionage and sedition, and secret societies.
- Because of his nature and his work, he has gathered quite a few secrets and is in a position to seriously set back some powerful people in Hell and on earth. He's well-connected and has many informants in the underbellies of both planes (yes, even Hell has an underbelly). As such, when he's not being summoned, he peddles information.
- He is a fearsome warrior and renowned warrior is the seven circles of Hell and he's a vegetarian (deer). He first met Stolas because he was hungry and ate some human fungi he thinks were called "shrooms" and was tripping balls. His foot soldiers, disturbed and alarmed, took him to Prince Stolas' apothecary.
Clothing/Other:
- Usually doesn't wear clothing but you can dress him if you want, or give him accessories.*
- Carries a messenger bag that is a pocket dimension (think Hermione's beaded bag or Doraemon's pocket). He can store a shit ton of stuff in there, including his spear and his little black book that he uses to schedule his appointments and write down dirt about demons and people.

A hart is an Old English word for a red deer stag. Furtur also has wings like the East African crowned crane: black primaries, red-brown secondaries, white coverts, and gold scapulars.
