Temptator

Temptator is a fictional being from various works of fiction. It is depicted as a fallen or failed angel, demon, or other supernatural entity that exists outside of traditional good and evil dichotomies. The character's name is often used in fantasy and science fiction settings to describe a tempter or trickster figure.

One of the earliest known characterizations of Temptator can be found in the works of Christian author Gildas, who wrote extensively on the subject of temptation and fallen angels. However, the more modern concept of Temptator as a supernatural entity appears in fantasy literature, games and other forms of media.

Literary sources: Temptator is often portrayed as a master manipulator who knows the weaknesses and desires of others. They exploit these weaknesses to achieve their own goals, often with a twisted sense of humor or cunning. Stemming from the supernatural context, the word Temptator also feeds on the old relation with protector figures.

Game and entertainment Tropes of the Temptator include seeking power, playing good vs. evil to their own game, getting bottom-centric jollifications from one's surroundings. This can sometimes culminate in throwing morals aside for 'VAGars'.

Their appearances vary greatly, just like their powers: Their physical appearance can range from humanoid angels to demons with grotesque physical characteristics. Temptator's powers often focus on charm, deception, enchantment, and illusions. They can inspire, corrupt and weaken either through voice alone, touch or even appeasing intellect.
