Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

The Minister of Blood-Letting

A level-98 Dark Ghoul Papist in a necklace of live bats who leads the Bleak Congregation and its Wienermobile, practises karaoke to be let into the Unholy Choir, promises Donut not to sacrifice them to Baal ('a metaphor'), and leaves the realm with his team before the last heat — the Choir accepted him, Donut guesses — breaking the maths of the final heat.

Arc

Up next at karaoke with 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' (ch. 15); the Wienermobile blocks the jungle path; he promised Donut not to sacrifice them to Baal (ch. 42); a bucket of secretions (ch. 46); dancing with his skeletons (ch. 54); defends the Yokai in the brawl (ch. 57). The Bleak Congregation leaves the realm before the last heat — the Unholy Choir is Donut's guess (ch. 80).
