Copernicus

Type: Faction NPC Race: Demon Alignment: Nightmarish

Demon Prince Copernicaldaran the Wicked, or simply "Copernicus" is a demonic prince that rules the Legion of the Damned in Central City. He actively conspires to rule the city, and to make it the first city since Abbadon, the City of the Damned to be ruled by a demon prince. The Church of the All Mighty Desecrator considers him to be the Archbishop, and highest ranking demon in all of the Central Isles (except in Wheytland to the North, where Prince Wyrnhark the Avaricious is the ruler), where he has held this role since to reign of the second Lord Mayor Percey II.

The Legion
Copernicus crowned himself Archduke Copern the Hellish after he killed his predeces sor Mammon the Hideous since when he has been building his forces to oust the Angel Prior Daniel II  so that he may make the city a demonic city the likes of which haven't been seen since old Abbadon. He nearly succeeded when Johann  successfully assassinated the Angel Prior Daniel I some thirty years ago, but the angels were able to mount a successful attack on the Legion hindering the Prince's forces. This gave the Angelic Choir enough time to choose a new Prior of Central, putting the plan to a halt for the time being. Copernicus spends all of his time plotting his revenge, and building up his forces to one day rid the city of Angelic influence.

Copernicus in Combat
As a demonic prince, Copernicus is notoriously hard to kill. He has a Superb Body, and can

use his massive girth to send people flying. He has no hellish element, relying on his super strength and hordes of minions to aid him in combat. He has an unusual ability called Gluttonous Gravity which allows him to eat minions and drag opponents to him as he accrues gravity. The real challenge in fighting him rest not in his own abilities, but the abilities of his agents and minions that he surrounds himself with. Then he whips out his Francis Bacon and chokes the demon to death as a finisher.
