Husk

Husk is a grumpy, lazy, and somewhat apathetic old sinner whose interests in Hell now lie mostly in gambling, parlor tricks, and prolific drinking.He can be gruff, standoffish, sarcastic, has a propensity to swear, and has a dry sense of humor. Despite this, he is also surprisingly patient and able to take a lot of outlandish events in his stride, electing to just drink his problems away later. He is very observant, having the ability to read people and understand their problems well (even when they don't themselves), which makes him quick to notice when someone isn't being genuine with him, something he doesn't enjoy. He values authenticity and seems to understand himself and his own issues well too, openly accepting that his reliance on alcohol and gambling hasn't helped him feel better. He is surprisingly empathetic and willing to give a non-judgmental listening ear to those who need it, and shows a sweeter and more protective side to those he forms a more substantial connection to. However, he is also somewhat insensitive as he points out sensitive things about other people, like when he bluntly shares the flaws of Charlie, and Vaggie, and was quick to point out that Charlie had daddy issues.

Husk was originally from Las Vegas and grew up in a casino there. His familiarity with the fast-paced gambling atmosphere, as well as his multilingualism, is a result of his upbringing. It was in Las Vegas that Husk's deep adoration for stage magic grew, as he would often run down to the entertainment areas in the casino to watch the shows that took place as a child. He also played the saxophone professionally at several Vegas lounge bars. At some point, Husk became a magician himself, but has also been described as "washed up", "bitter", and the biggest "has been" in the literal sense of the term, implying that, although Husk may well have progressed to become a successful stage magician himself at some point, it was a career that would apparently not end well for him. Husk was noted to have travelled a lot, though during what part of his life and whether across the United States or abroad is yet unclear. Although Husk's cause of death is yet unknown, he died in his mid-to-late-60s to early-70s. He was sentenced to Hell and was turned into a winged, magician and casino themed cat-like demon, a form that he dislikes immensely, although he has come to begrudgingly accept it during his time in Hell. In Hell, Husk is an alcoholic and also a "big-time gambler", although his actual skill level in the games is unknown, as he is frequently noted to cheat using his sleight-of-hand skills. Husk still retained his love of magic into his afterlife, although in a much diminished capacity and more often utilized to cheat at gambling or perform parlor tricks. Husk lost his soul to Alastor Husk was an Overlord at some point, but as he gambled he got on a losing streak and met Alastor during that time. He made a deal with him under to save his power but ended up losing his status as an Overlord and ownership of his own soul.

During Vaggie's tale of Alastor's rise to power, Husk can be seen fighting alongside him in one shot. Alastor has had Husk do multiple favors for him at inappropriate times. At some point Husk met Mimzy, a friend of Alastor, but Husk did not like her because she always brought problems that Alastor had to solve. At another point, Husk discovered Alastor's deepest darkest secret: Alastor had made a deal with another demon at the cost of his soul and freedom.

apperence Husk is an anthropomorphic avian cat demon. His look is evocative of a magician, paired with a casino referencing playing card theme. The sclera of his eyes are black, with light yellow irises and slit pupils. He has large and lengthy, red feather-like eyebrows with black vertical stripes near the tips, and a small black heart above each eyebrow. His fur is a dark taupe, overlayed with white on his face, torso, feet, and upper arms. The insides of his ears are white with a red tip at the point and red heart in the center. A black tuff of fluff protrudes from each, creating the appearance of small hearts. He has a darker shade of his fur encircling his ankles, mimicking cuffs on a set of pants. His tail is long and dark taupe-colored, ending with a large spray of plume-like feathers which are a vivid-red with black and white stripes. He has heart-shaped, light yellow paw-pads underneath the paws on his hands and feet. His wings are large and red, with darker-taupe on the undersides. The undersides of his wings are decorated with black stripes which feature red and white roulette wheel dot markings. The outside of his wings are decorated with more black stripes, which wrap around the joints and run around a row of white roulette wheel dots. Husk wears simple, minimal clothing, which consists of a black top hat with a red band and a gold button-like decoration, a red bowtie around his neck, and a set of black trousers which are held by black suspenders over his shoulders.
