LSpace Wrote:The Cunning Man was, a thousand years ago, an Omnian witch-finder, who had fallen in love with a witch. That witch, however, knew how evil the Cunning Man was. She was eventually burnt to death - not coincidentally by his co-religionists, but as she was being burned she reached through her bars and held him to her, trapping the Cunning Man in the fire as well. The Cunning Man became a demonic spirit of pure hatred, able to corrupt other minds with suspicion and hate.
This spirit seems to do a perpetual tour of the Multiverse, appearing at random intervals of a few human generations to spread fear and loathing, hatred and mob violence against targets of convenience like Witches. There may actually be many versions of him, as each world has its own Death, for example, although this is strictly non-canonical speculation.
