Character from Bastion by Phil Tucker
A Manticore faction operative — one of the treacherous antagonists who made Scorio's journey through the Rascor Plains a lesson in trusting the wrong people.
Devalos is part of the Manticore — a faction whose members (including Evelyn and Ydrielle) serve as Book 2's primary human antagonists. The Manticore operates through political manipulation, betrayal, and the weaponization of Great Soul social structures. Devalos represents the specific danger of enemies who smile at you across a negotiating table while positioning knives beneath it. In a world where the obvious threats are Hell-born fiends, the Manticore reminds Scorio that the most dangerous enemies share his species, his city, and his dinner table.
Carries himself with the cultivated charm of someone whose faction operates through manipulation rather than direct confrontation.
