Laith/Hooks

Jeweller - Laith is a jeweller of considerable skill. He is planning on opening a business in town. Presently, he's scouting locations and getting permits. Soon, he hopes to have a small commercial space set up, for the selling of his wares.

Demon - Laith Durron is possessed by Stonescraper, a demon with a notable past. He was named Creidhne (pronounced Creynya) when he was an Angel, and he was a significant member of the Third House, tasked with imbuing strength to metal. He was one of those who flocked quickly to the banner of Lucifer and, during the Age of Warth, was a subordinate of a subordinate. His feats of creation in combat with the Celestial hosts were renowned, and he was named 'Metalspeaker'. When Lucifer's forces were initially, seemingly triumphant, he assumed a vaunted role with the Silver Legion, and was named its Chief Weaponsmith, in direct service to Asmodeus. When banished to the Pit, he was tasked with attempting to find a way out of the prison, and was named Stonescraper. When Asmodeus vanished, he entered the service of another of Hell's most powerful demons, Baron Abraxas, whom he served until his own escape from the Abyss. Odds are most other demons would know of him, and if not, they would surely know of the power of the lieges he has served.

Criminal - Laith Durron, before being taken over by Stonescraper, was a criminal in Philadelphia. Over the past six or seven years, he's been charged with possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), living off the proceeds of prostitution, possession of stolen property, possession of an unregistered firearm, and possession of marijuana for the purposes of trafficking. He was punished with progressive discipline, working his way through parole and probation, before ultimately serving short sentences and, finally, a two-year stint. When one runs a criminal record check on him, one is quick to discover that he has led a life of minor, low-life criminality.

Philadelphia - Even worse than being a demon and being a criminal, Laith is from Philadelphia. If you are from there, you might know him (provided you're a low-life or a cop or prosecutor). Otherwise, you can at least chat about the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and 76ers. Or about the time you both threw snowballs at Santa at an Eagles game. Because, honestly, that's how people roll in Philly.

Addiction - With the body of Laith Durron came the addiction. He's a cocaine addict. Maybe you will be the source of his fix, or maybe he will be able to hook you up. Or maybe you'll just go out on a drug-fuelled night of partying.
