An anonymous representative of the Devil, once a high-ranking Duke of Hell and now a committed underachiever, has spent the last forever of an eternity leading a perfectly tedious existence distracting monks from their liturgical devotions. It's interminable, but he prefers it that way, now that he's been officially designated by Downstairs as "fragile." No, he won't elaborate. All that changes when he finds himself ensnared, along with a sadistic exorcist, in a labyrinthine plot to subvert the very nature of Good and Evil. In such a circumstance, sympathy for the Devil is practically inevitable.

Illuminates Prosper's Demon

After being designated “fragile”, our hero is content with his lot. That is, until circumstance, and those in charge, force him back to more challenging work.

It felt like the second half to “Prosper’s Demon”, with both novella’s sharing characters, and, uh, certain predicaments. I liked this one more, purely because it appealed more to my personal tastes. I love me a shifty protagonist, and the turtles all the way down aspect was delicious.
