Character Description
Spends most of its time as a black mass that can take many forms though sometimes appears as a human child that resembles Michael or Michael himself. Has a passion for killing Michael over and over again and follows him around killing anyone else in the area. The only thing Michael can do is lure the monster away to somewhere where it can't harm anyone and trap it there by getting it lost.
Personality
Seems to enjoy killing Michael repeatedly and takes it as some sort of childish game. Can be frighteningly destructive when angry and gets angry by not being able to kill Michael. Often pretends to be Michael or a child that resembles him though not always to lull people into a false sense of security, sometimes it just likes to do it for fun or to torment it's victims. Immensely strong in its black mass form it can easily burst through barriers. It kills other people when it gets bored with Michael but Michael by its own admission is its favorite and the only one it brings back from the dead to kill again. It often grunts, hums or mumbles in a deep elderly man's voice but occasionally likes to talk like a child. It sees its killing as a game and seems ignorant of the negativity of its actions in a childish fashion even when not taking the form of a child or adopting their voice. Not very bright, it's easily fooled but being generally unstoppable it doesn't give you much advantage.
