So I was reading the description for Krampus, and realized him being evil is actually not his own fault. The portal that summoned him from the First World was corrupted by the hateful emotions and bitter resentment of the villagers he was originally spawned to help during the harsh winter months. They had one too many bad winters, and Krampus's soul was stained because of this.
So I was thinking about what it might take to redeem him. Obviously powerful, maybe even deity level or deity-like level magic could do the trick, so unless you believe that is the only way, let's try to think of something else to redeem poor Krampus.
My take is a Mythic character who can't be (permanently) killed by Krampus could forcibly befriend Krampus. They might have to help him out a little, but as long as they play their cards right, and keep at it, Krampus will get something akin to Stockholm Syndrome, and see them as his friend. At which point they can start to help him.
Of course, you don't need to go all the way to Mythic for this, it's just that would be the easiest way to guarantee it would happen through a battle of attrition.
Anyways, what do you think?
