Ra't'lahti, the Walker in Shadow is a Demonic Tempter Spirit.
Overview[]
Like all demons, Ra't'lahti must feed on human souls to survive on Earth. To this end, he's gathered a small cult around himself, and he harvests them slowly as they outlive their usefulness. Ra't'lahti would love nothing better than to snare a mage or two into his group. From there, his power would skyrocket.
To avoid banishment, Ra't'lahti has instructed his worshippers to perform a summoning ritual every dark and full moon. This precaution cuts any unplanned absence to no longer than two weeks.
Ra't'lahti preferred methods are subtle temptation. He offers his victims whatever they desire, often using Insight to ferret out their deepest secrets. He stretches the process out as long as possible, only offering dribs and drabs in exchange for increasingly compromising favors. In time, the target's soul is his, and he may move on to his next victim.
Appearance[]
Ra't'lahti appears to his worshippers as a somewhat hirsute man in a finely tailored black business suit. His eyes flicker strangely in dim light, and his perversely pleasant-sounding voice sets most people on edge.
