Dead Man's Chest

The Dead Man's Chest is a demonic entity that makes up the second of the three known "Dark Muses" - it travels from dimension to dimension inspiring people to commit horrendous crimes based on the concepts of gluttony and avarice.

In addition to this the Dead Man's Chest will often "mentor" certain writers or actors, inspiring them to create stories or roles based heavily on excessive material gain or wanton gluttony, upon completing its task however the Dead Man's Chest demands either the sacrifice of its student or someone else.

The sacrifice takes the form of being literally devoured by the demon and being held indefinitely within its alien form - once someone has entered a pact with the Dead Man's Chest they have seven days by which to either accept their fate or find a replacement, who must either be convinced or tricked into getting close enough for the Dead Man's Chest to grasp without use of magic.

Like all three of the "Dark Muses" the Dead Man's Chest is considered an inter-dimensional demon of considerable might and is thus an enemy of the Immortals - it is also theorized to be an aspect of The Presence, alongside the Ghost Train and Ghost Writer.
