This lengthy one covers how the Church deals with something they call the Fell Spirits. Here's part of it:<blockquote>In 1461, a respected official of the Spanish government found himself accused of practicing magic and was brought before the Inquisition as a prisoner. The prisoner confounded the four Inquisitors, however, resisting their attempts at exorcism, demonstrating inhuman endurance, and speaking in ancient languages to confuse his interrogators. After days of arduous proceedings, two of the four Inquisitors collapsed from exhaustion. The third Inquisitor fell prey to a strange malady after the prisoner had asked to speak with him privately so that he could confess his sins. When other Inquisitors returned, they found the interrogator babbling about the "Fell Spirits" while the prisoner laughed beside him.Learned Bishops and high-ranking Inquisitors came to examine the man and were equally frustrated by his openly hostile and resilient attitude. Though these Inquisitors were no closer to exorcising the prisoner's demon, he spoke proudly of ages past, when the Fell Spirits were known as demons to many of the old religions. To the Hindus, they were known as the terrible Daityas, to the Persians the Daevas, Buddhists knew them as the hungry Pretas, the Hebrews called one of the Fell Spirits Asmodeous, and the Christians feared Lucifer above all else.</blockquote>Don't you just hate those uppity Fell Spirit/Demon prisoners who just won't shut up? I just wonder if said prisoner was told, "Yes, yes, what a marvellous past you had, demon. You're still rotting in our dungeon, though."PS: Killian will, forthwith and all that jazz, be known as Captain Button Pants. However, you can just call him, CAP PANTSIE for short.
