Background

The House of Catacomb is known to have no lack of wealth, whether it be in coin, strange artifacts, or secrets lost to the rest of Youdu. What they do lack is adequate muscle to protect these assets. The solution commonly used for this is the hiring of outsiders, but a few years ago, they made an investment. In the name of saving coin on Bodyguards and Stalkers, wretched flesh drawn from the pits of reincarnation was compelled to take a form pleasing to the eye. Still, it was a hateful creature, united in body but fractured in spirit. With significant effort, it was granted one mind and the name "Xinlin" so that the amalgam could follow orders. Ever since, Xinlin has been adopted as a daughter of Catacomb and used to protect its dealings with the full extent of its fearsome ability.

Though tamed, the mind bequeathed to the beast is one filled with pride. It marvels at its own beauty and desires to be enhanced at any chance presented. Makeup, dresses, and jewelry are all greatly valued, but its true obsession is the form of others it considers beautiful. Whether it be the denizens of Youdu, models from the Mortal World, or even Chimeras, it ravenously consumes them and claims their beauty for itself. This great appetite drives it to go beyond its obligations to the House of Catacomb to supply itself with parts and is even willing to accept certain delicacies in place of monetary remuneration. Those who catch its interest often meet a gruesome fate, but it's not unreasonable. If eyes like gems are what attracted it, then those are all it will take. Only when its mind buckles under the cries of its flesh does it revert back to a sea of gore and attempt to devour all in sight. Along with this endless desire is an almost childish want for recognition. After all, such exquisite beauty should be appreciated by all.

Most of its time is spent acting on behalf of the House of the Catacomb, even if it would be more comfortable prowling Limbo or the Border Wilds to satisfy its cravings. Their influence and Xinlin's willingness to cooperate with other factions have saved it the trouble of most Exorcists constantly attempting to purify it, but some are more persistent than others. It's also known to frequent Hunter's Lodges to sell off the unwanted parts of monsters it picks apart. At least, this is part of the reason for its patronage. The Lodge's founder stirs its hunger such that it cannot help but visit to see how its latest obsession is doing.
