In the Fifteenth century, entirely by mistake (as he was very devout in his own way), Bosch acted as a channel for all sorts of nasty demons to slip into this world, where they have been slowly combining and multiplying since then. These imps (for an indirect channel accidentally formed by an artist can only draw so much up) are generally a tortured lot, small, with great deformity. They often cannot even manifest, instead being things mostly of psyche.
I found this one trapped by a poor illustration of a summoner's circle in one of my books. Though not summoned to it, he had gotten trapped there. He is, in his words, "a blaighte of caencurs aboute the earse of mise". Since I don't mind cankers on my mice, I freed him into my service to go do what he does best. I am still awaiting the final results.
