MR. ARI(EL) BLACK
First off, no one calls me my divine name and keeps their windpipe.
Well, there's only one being who can and you're not her. I'm the owner of the former Rouge Palace here in Las Vegas.
In 1961, I opened the first racially integrated casino in Vegas. Made a lot of money. Broke a lot of hearts. Let's just say my ambition goes deeper than money and women.
My destiny is power.
As a Mammonite demon of the highest ranking, I thrive on the greed and lust of man.
Speaking of lust, my world used to be a lot simpler until I met the succubus of my innermost desire. Gemma fascinates me.
A do-gooder lust demon? Seriously? I mean...you just can't make this shit up.
She's trouble--a fighter. Crafty. Pity for me... that's just what I like.
