In Lord Loss, the title character is first seen killing the family of our protagonist, Grubbs, accompanied by Vein and Artery. In addition, his throne is in the shape of a spider. In many ways, Lord Loss bears a resemblance to a spider: His eight arms and the fact that he sometimes moves by crawling across his webbing all suggest an arachnid quality. There is a moat with demon sharks at the bottom, but instead of water there is empty space. These webs vary from thick to thin, all extraordinarily strong, in order to make the mechanisms of the drawbridge work, etc. On several occasions, he has displayed polite and elegant mannerisms which contrast sharply with other more bestial behaviour undertaken at the same time: for example, at the end of his chess game in the first book, he graciously escorts Dervish Grady to the portal to the Demonata Universe, and then tries to rip his throat out moments later. His speech pattern is characterised by a tone of immense sadness, coupled with the use of quite a sophisticated vocabulary he rarely uses abbreviations, and always addresses characters by their full names as opposed to nicknames. In Bec he kills a woman by tormenting her with zombies of dead children that resembled her children that were killed by demons.Īgain unlike any of his demonic fellows, Lord Loss is greatly intelligent, and has mastered the use of human languages. In Slawter, he kills a young girl by literally sucking her dry of blood. He also kills people in the cruelest and most sadistic way possible. Two of the three times that people betray their allies, he does not permit them to live.

He is described as the cruellest character in the books, and enjoys bringing slow and painful deaths upon humans. Unlike any other demon in the series, Lord Loss feeds on the sorrow of humans, and because of this, he is not interested in mindless killing. His human companion's names were Juni Swan and Nadia Moore. Any other Demon Master would have to wait for a mage to create a tunnel between the universes. He is the only Demon Master that somehow is free to travel between the Demon universe and the human universe by Windows. The many individual cracks in his skin, which seep blood every time he even slightly moves, give his demonic appearance a nice touch as well. He is often described as having a very sad voice and look. Instead of having legs, strips of bloody flesh hang from the edge of stumps where his feet would normally be shown, and so he moves about by levitating. He bares a pair of very dark-red eyes with even darker red pupils. He has no heart, and instead simply has an open hole in his chest filled with deadly, venomous snakes.

Lord Loss is described as having pale red, lumpy skin, and eight arms (which are frequently described as being mangled).
