[[File:{{{image1}}}]]

Lesihr the Sagacious is an assumed identity used by a powerful demon. Her real name is not known, although she has been referred to with the titled "the Silver-Tongued", "the Liar", and "the Soul Thief". She took on the false identity in a ploy to trick humans out of their souls and ascend to a higher power level.[1]

Physical description

Her disguised form is humanoid and many-winged, with golden skin, and no fangs or claws. Her true form is mostly unknown, although it does feature gnawing fangs and unholy geometries.

Personality

Lesihr is very deceitful, and willing to go to great lengths to carry out a scheme. Before taking on her false identity, she was known for breaking through binding circles and stealing whatever she wanted instead of making deals. This behavior led to her receiving fewer and fewer summons over time.

Powers

She pretends to be a knowledge demon, but in reality does not have omniscience or clairvoyance. Her true powers are mostly unknown.

History

She took on the false name of Lesihr in order to fool humans into thinking she was less powerful than she was. She intercepted a summons meant for a low level demon (Freghnup, Scourge of Teeth) and convinced her summoners, the demonology department of the University of Oregon, that she was similarly harmless. This allowed her to get on a list of demons summonable for demonstrative purposes.

Her intention was to wait until she was summoned before a large audience, then break out of the binding circle and devour all of the humans' souls at once, before moving on to run a similar con at other universities. However, Alcor the Dreambender, in his disguise as Tyrone Evergreen, was present at the summoning, and upon recognizing him she fled in fear for her life.
