Agored — Description
Agored is a demonic creature that is a part of a monstrous traveling band. The tales say that the members of this traveling band were once humans, travelling from town to town to spread their songs. They were also thieves as well, wooing the crowds with their musical talent, while nabbing goods from the townsfolk. During one of their heists, they stole an ancient artifact of great power (Rather unknowingly, they just stole it because it had jewels on it). To them, it was just a fancy, but strange, music box, one covered in black jewels and intricate patterns. Little did they know that they had stolen the Cantatio Daemonum, the music box of The Voices. As they examined their latest treasure, one of them opened it and unleashed The Voices within. When the four Voices asked them for their wish, they huddled together to discuss their wish. Currently pursued by the authorities, and enjoying their life of crime and music, they decided that they wished to be able to do this forever, foolishly believing that this would give them immortality and special powers. But their naivety of the way of the Voices turned against them, and the first thing that happened was the whole band's untimely demise. Upon death, their sinful souls were sent to Hell, were they writhed and burned in its eternal fire. But just as they entered the black jaws of the underworld, The Voices pulled them out. With a combination of hellish torture and the vile singing of the Voices, their bodies were warped and twisted into their current forms. With their mortal bodies destroyed, and their eternal essences shaped into these creatures, they could live out eternity singing, playing and stealing the souls of those they meet.

Agored is the accordion player of the band. He plays his songs by extending and depressing his odd trachea. The music that comes from his body overrides the nervous system of the audience. Using his bodily tunes, he forces beings to move and dance against their own will. This power is used to take control of a group of prey and use them to corral and block off other prey. Prey that offers too much resistance will be hijacked and forced to dance until they collapse. When in a tight spot, Agored will fully extend his trachea and quickly slam it closed. This releases a powerful pulse of air that can knock back attackers, which he uses for crowd control. Agored is the more long-winded of the group, always mocking and taunting enemy and prey as they try to fight his power.
