Darmoria

Darmoria is a Spymaster for the Winter Court, personally working for Maeve most of the time. It is believed that he was at one time a member of the Summer Court because he appears as a Satyr, but this has never been confirmed. He is a master of mantels, putting them on and off as easily as most people change clothes. This allows him to move among people that would kill him if they discover who is under the mask.

What is most disturbing is his Nearly human-like behavior in that he seems to understand the human drives and has partially internalized this. This leaves him a very strange faerie as he can seemingly act against his own nature.

Darmoria is a fae from the deep winter incredibly skilled as an ambush hunter. Highly intelligent with a superior ability to camouflage himself - he is also parasitic. He is not a shape shifter, instead he takes over a fae's spirit. This means that any attempt to discern the true nature of someone will simply find what they expect. This allows him to travel freely anywhere. He feeds upon the fae's spirit until it is exhausted - gaining access to its deepest secrets eventually. Although he resides in deep winter he is a wyldfae - powerful enough like the Erlking to stay independent of the courts. He cannot reside outside of deep winter except inside of another fae.

The outcome of Darmoria taking over a faerie is always destructive. He feeds on the fae's spirit consuming it and stopping it from “healing” itself. When he is done nothing is left of the host spirit. Rarely is he inclined to leave a host and forcing him out is dangerous to the host - think like killing a brain parasite or cancer the cure may be worse than the disease. Even if he leaves before consuming the host fully the loss is devastating to the host - like having of chunk of you simply gone, never to return like Alzheimer's Disease where things are simply gone.

Here is the rub - he is a powerful and dangerous faerie, but he is not meant for humanity or the human world. He cannot feed on a human soul. As Uriel said in Ghost Story, “You are a soul, you have a body.” A human body is a prison for it. Like a caged animal denied food it will feed on whatever it can and attack the host in order to survive. If it gains control of the body through manipulation then it will try everything to get the body to find and get near to a faerie - The Wee/Little folk are pretty useless to it as they will be consumed too quickly - it needs something stronger.

If you want to allow him to consume you then you must stay Changeling to declare yourself a Full Fetch.
