cassie's father. in life, wilson was a man of high esteem who had an eye for the occult. he spent many nights in his study, doing as much research on demonology as he could. to everyone else, he was a collected and charismatic businessman. behind closed doors, the corruption bubbling beneath the surface boiled over and left fire in its wake. in a last desperate attempt to win favor and contact with a demon, wilson murdered his wife and burnt their home to the ground, only being stopped when cassie drove a stake through his heart. in death he is a restless presence who wanders the stone cities and luminescent forests of hell. his corporeal form steadily being eaten away by his own greed, he waits patiently for the moment he can finally take his life back.
