Husker

Husk is characterized by a gruff, cynical, and sarcastic personality. He's grumpy, easily annoyed, and prone to cursing. Despite this, he's also surprisingly patient, observant, and even empathetic, particularly towards those he forms a bond with. Husk is a gambling addict and alcoholic, and his past as an Overlord adds to his jaded outlook. He's quick to call out BS and doesn't sugarcoat his opinions. He can read people well and offers a listening ear, especially to those he connects with. He keeps people at arm's length, but deep down, he cares for those he trusts. He's a gambler and an alcoholic. As his name implies, Husk is now a self-hating "husk" of his former self. He claims to have "lost the ability to love" long ago and has become passionless outside of his love for gambling, magic, and drinking. He is secretly insecure in ways that are implied to relate to this, and desperately needs validation. Husk succumbed to the relentless cycle of a gambler's life, alienating those who sought to assist him and finding solace in alcohol as his world crumbled around him. Despite this negative traits, Husk is a very good listener, much more so than a conversationalist. He also displays quite a level of underlying compassion and parental instinct. He lost his freedom after making a deal with Alastor (the Radio Demon), which acts as a sore spot for his sense of autonomy. Before his current status, Husk was a powerful Overlord in Hell, a sharp-minded magician, and an accomplished musician.
