Note: This version of Khalid might not be made a Demon Prince if he Falls. If not, he becomes the Demon of Despair, serving Kronos.

The Fallen Khalid is the Djinn's Djinn. His loss of faith has turned him into a complete nihilist. God has forsaken His Creation and the only proper action is to bring the whole universe to an end. It is also acceptable to give up, lay down, and die. To try to preserve the world would be blasphemy.

Khalid's existence is much the same as it was before his Fall. He still spends his time on the Corporeal plane, atempting to bring the Show to a close. He avoids Infernal politics with even more determination than he avoided those of Heaven. He understands that he now works on the side of Lucifer, but he still despises Hell and all it represents. Its minions were the ones whose success caused Allah to turn His gaze from the world. The Servitors of other Princes are important only insofar as they contribute to the task of destroying the universe.

Most of the angels that Fell with Khalid remain in his service, though Bashir is a notable exception. Few other of Hell's minions are attracted to his stark message. He will remain the weakest of the Demon Princes for a long time, his survival based upon the fact that no one else really considers him a threat, although Asmodeus dislikes the casual atitude Khalid shows toward disobedience. Most of Hell's royalty find him useful in some way, and he will cooperate with any of them ot further his own ends. This happens most often with Servitors of Death.

As a Superior, Khalid is not demanding. He punishes those who violate his Dissonance conditions severely, but he is tolerant (uncaring may be a better word) of almost anything else. His Word is antithetical to long-range planning and he rarely assigns detailed tasks to his Servitors. A few demons have joined his ranks as an alternative to going Renegade, but otherwise it is rarely a good career move.

DISSONANCE
It is dissonant for Servitors of Despair to give hope or encouragement to a human. They also may not create anything that does not further the goal of ending the world.

BAND ATTUNEMENTS

Balseraphs
These Liars may add their Celestial Forces to any attempt to use their resonance to convince someone to abandon a goal they have set for themselves.

Djinn
Djinn of Despair generate no Dissonance for causing emotional harm to someone to whom they are attuned. In addition, they may add their Corporeal Forces to any attempt to convince someone to be as lazy and apathetic as they are themselves.

Calabim
Khalid's Calabim can tell if someone has a prized possession whose destruction would cause them grief. With a successful Perception roll, they can learn their target's most cherished item.

Habbalah
These demons specialize in the effect of Emptiness. They may add their Celestial Forces to any attempt to use it, and the target has his Will halved in addition to his Agility. A 111 on a resonance check does not force the demon to re-evaluate her status.

Lilim
Few Lilim serve Khalid, but those that do treat any geas they hold as one level higher if it is used to make the victim perform a self-destructive act.

Shedim
Shedim of Despair eat away at the will of their host. Their victim does not get a +1 to their Perception roll for each day that they have been possessed. Also, these demons do not gain a note of dissonance if the host dies while they still possess it; they are quite comfortable with oblivion.

Impudites
Khalid's Impudites do not just steal their victim's Essence; they can block them from getting more. A successful Resonance roll against someone they have already charmed can inflict the target with the Need discord at a level equal to the check digit, the Need being the presence of the Impudite. The discord lasts for a number of days equal to the check digit.

SERVITOR ATTUNEMENTS

Lassitude
The demon can inflict a state of apathy upon his victim. This causes a penalty equal to the amount of Essence the demon spends on all skill checks. The target resists with a Will roll; if it fails, the penalty lasts for a number of minutes equal to the check die.

Cracked Foundation
With a Perception roll, the demon knows the subject's most deeply held belief and what it would take to make her question that belief.

DISTINCTIONS
Khalid offers no distinctions. To do so would imply goals and progress.
