Gilles de Rais, "Bluebeard"'s page

His expression changes from frustration to elated joy, and Gilles de Rais opens wide his arms in a gesture of welcome to the newly manifested demon.

Answering in Abyssal demonic tongue: Hurray! Huzzah! At last, you answer our call, Monsieur Barron! Long have we awaited your majesty! Many young French boys and girls have been burnt to appease thee, O Grande Barron of the Abyss! Welcome! Welcome to my house in France! We have been waiting for thee to manifest in our presence for many long moons! Come and look ye upon this seal of Solomon King, which grants its bearer dominion over thee!

Producing an amulet of silver engraved with the special seal of Solomon that has power over the demonlord, Gilles de Rais presents the seal boldly!

Tuesday, 3rd September, Year of Our Lord 1437, at quarter of midnight, in the donjon beneath Chateaux Rais in Machecoul, France:

Baron Gilles de Rais, French lord and retired commander, also known as "Bluebeard" for his fashion of dying his beard blue, former companion-in-arms to Joan of Arc during the Siege of Orleans and other battles of the Hundred Years War, and secretly a member of the Church of Lucifer, throws a torch upon the heap of oil-soaked corpses piled on the stone floor in a secret chamber under his chateaux in Machecoul.

The corpses, some twenty children ranging in age from six years to fourteen years, had all been abducted by the baron and his accomplices, plied with drugged wine, sodomized, and sacrificed to a demon called Barron in an attempt to summon the fiend to do Baron de Rais' bidding...

The heap of children's corpses ignite in an unholy bonfire, the dancing flames reflected in the dark, wicked eyes of the baron and his accomplices...

Baron de Rais grows impatient with the lack of results so far...

Pourquoi Barron a-t-il refusé de répondre à notre convocation!? Nous avons sacrifié plus d'une centaine d'enfants jusqu'à présent, et toujours aucun signe de lui!
