Zuulimos is one of the few non-corporeal heroes around in this world of capery! An enigmatic, intimidating and shadowy spirit, he's still shown himself to be an entity concerned with the civilians of MC.

Zuulimos, the Shadows Unending.
History!
Very little of this spirit..orwhatever the heck he is...is known. His history, his creation....Nothing. Zuulimos himself only gives the slightest indications of his origins:
I come from the far-reaching corners, where the Shadows are Unending. It is a solemn place, fitting for it's residents. Though the Shadows be our home, we still feel drawn to trespass into the light. The reasons....Many. Mine was defiance, and realization.
What is Zuulimos?
Zuulimos is usually defined as a spirit, though 'shade' works just as well. He has no real form on his own: normally, he's just a large mass of shadowy tentacles, with two orbs for eyes. However, his interactions with humans have made him think he should use a human shape.
The screaming and crying was very annoying, after all.
Sadly, Zuulimos's understanding of 'not creepy' is rather poor. If he ever was a human, he's certainly unlearned it! His 'human form' is a black ( not dark. BLACK) humanoid upper body with no features, save for two purple fireballs, attached to a mass of wriggling shadow tentacles.
It has to be be noted that several mages have confirmed that Zuulimos has nothing to do with the infernal forces. This has (predictably) surprised some people.
Why is he a good guy?
Zuulimos might not be a demon, but he's definitely shady-looking. Is he an reliable ally?
Indeed he is! Just not for the usual reasons.
Zuulimos did NOT turn over a new leaf. He doesn't feel sorry for any immoral acts he's done in the past. Regret....He might feel that, if his actions caused useless harm.
'Useless' being the key word. He was a cold, uncaring entity, who did as he pleased. He wouldn't harm out of revenge, but he might if it got him something good. So why did he (almost) exclusively start helping out the authorities and assorted forces of 'good'?
Survival, mostly. Zuulimos had considered and observed the struggles of Earth. He noted a couple of important things:
1)'Good' usually won. Certainly, 'evil' had it's moments, but in the end, it was generally the forces of good who were the last ones standing! If you can't beat them, join them!
2)The benefits were heavily favored towards 'Good':
Joining 'Good' :
Pro : relative safety from humanity, possible admiration, reliable allies, good support network.
Cons : Dangerous work, villains might kill you, possible paperwork, possibly non-fatal inter-rivalries.
Joining 'Evil' :
Pro : Possible admiration, more black market connections, possible riches.
Cons : Dangerous work, villains might kill you, heroes might beat you up or kill you, possible paperwork, unstable allies, lousy intercommunications, possibly fatal inter-rivalries, definite fear from the populace.
Zuulimos definitely saw the appeal of 'good'. Certainly, he'd have to cut back on some activities, but the good outweighs the bad...in more than one way!
