Haunter of the Ring

[REH Ring (online text)]: A being that haunts the ancient and accursed ring of Thoth-amon, handed down by foul cults of sorcerers since the days of forgotten Stygia. The ring is copper, made like a scaly snake coiled three times, with its tail in its mouth and yellow jewels for eyes. The ring can seem attractive or can make a repulsive impression, almost obscene.

The haunter of the ring is godless sprite from outside the human universe, out of the gulfs of Night and the ages. In dreams, the haunter appears to the ring's wearer as a horrible faceless black thing that mows and mumbles and paws with apish hands.

A master of magic can direct the haunter of the ring to possess anyone who is wearing the ring, and force them to murder a loved one. But the haunter demands a soul as payment, and it can only take the soul of one who is blackened by evil. Only an adept can protect himself from the haunter after invoking it. Yosef Vrolok (aka Joseph Roelocke) ordered the haunter to make Evelyn Gordon try to kill James Gordon. However, the souls of the Gordons were too pure for the haunter to take, so it returned and took Vrolok's soul instead.
