Demons from Angel ........I to O..

Illyria

A great demon warrior who existed before men, Illyria was both beloved and feared before being murdered by rivals and left to drift in the 'Deeper Well', a burial ground for all the old ones located in the Cotswolds, England. Millions of years later, Illyria still has acolytes. Enclosed in a stone sarcophagus decorated with a circular plate beset with a purple precious stone, when touched in a particular way the sarcophagus allows Illyria to be released as a parasitic agent into a human host where she will gestate, killing the host and destroying their soul in the process. Illyria’s kingdom, the temple Vahla Ha’nesh where her army was stationed, lies in what is now LA although today it exists in a different time stream and is reduced to ruins. She has a priest known as the Qwa’ha Xahn. Exceptionally strong she also has magical abilities, including the creation of a time warp which causes all around her to move in slow motion.

She does this by using her ability to control the minds and hearts of her ‘subjects’. In order to sustain herself she feeds on the people who worship her by devouring them whole leaving no remnants of their existence other than their clothing, which she asks them to remove before feasting. Once in this process she emits a vibrant green light and extends tentacles to engulf her victims absorbing them within her own flesh. This preferred menu has regenerative properties and with each human she consumes, her body becomes stronger and less susceptible to harm. Her own blood and her true name are her weaknesses. Exposure to either allows a devotee to see the true maggot ridden manifestation.

Until Lorne's sleep was safely re-installed into him.

A surgeon who lived in the 18th century, Pavayne, also known as the ‘Reaper’ or the ‘Dark Soul’, was forced to leave Europe after it was found he had inflicted unnecessary surgical procedures on his patients – in a time without anaesthetic. He settled in California and performed a series of ritualistic murders for a period of twenty years, and was then killed by agents of Wolfram & Hart. His blood was used to deconsecrate the site of their latest headquarters – the now Los Angeles branch. However, Pavayne found a way to escape Hell and lingered between the world of the living and the world of the dead, sending other souls to Hell in his place. His abilities included avoiding mystical detection, bending his reality as he desired, and affecting the physical world. Returned to corporeal form by a device of Fred’s creation, Pavayne has been sealed in a storage cell and is being kept at Wolfram & Hart indefinitely.

Mohra Demon

Mohra demons are Soldiers of Darkness—assassins—whose sole mission is to kill warriors serving the Powers That Be. They are dressed in a variation of a samurai’s armor with green skin that’s more like armor than flesh, adorned with spikes on either cheek and a red jewel in the middle of their forehead. They are experts in swordsmanship and unarmed combat, particularly martial arts.

They need vast quantities of salt to survive and their “veins run with the blood of eternity.” Its blood has healing properties and can heal a person (or demon) if its blood makes contact. If a Mohra demon is killed, it’s only temporary, and they return bigger and stronger than before. To kill it permanently, the jewel in their forehead must be shattered causing them to explode in a fireworks display of yellow light.

They don't speak English, but have got their own language which sound like a series of clicks, like the Morse Code. They came to Angel Investigations to see if they could find someone who was worthy enough to test out a puzzle which they were allegedly going to use on their prince. They founds Fred to be the one who would be able to solve the puzzle. They live on a barge which was moored at the marina when Lorne and Fred went over. But their plans were somewhat different to the ones they had originally stated. They wanted to chop off the head of Fred and place it on their prince's head, as it seems his head dies after a while. The plans didn't work and Fred's head was saved.

Oden Tal

While not demons, they are beings from another dimension where subservient females serve the Vigories, the male contingent, as slaves devoid of any free will. The Vigories make the females impotent—or “unmade”—by amputating their Ko, bony ridges running down the back of their necks that give each women individual personality, free will, as well as great physical and sexual powers. Women have ridges on their cheekbones and a long tribal tattoo over their left eye.

Many Oden Tal females come to Earth to escape oppression but are pursued by the Vigories. Upon their arrival on Earth, Oden Tal females come in a fever and must be kept cold until they learn to control their powers. When sexually aroused, their extreme body heat can kill, and the bony ridges of their Ko glows a bright red.
