Lodgemaster Minion: Trophy Wife

The trophy wife wears a crimson frock coat atop a overbust corset of bone-brocade. Her pants match her coat and tall, ivory-buttoned spats are attached to her abyss-blackened hooves. The coat's interior is lined with grisly talismans crafted from various forest animals and sentient creatures. Brazen antlers spiral up from the fiend's platinum blond hair. The trophy wife's eyes are literally doe's, her lips ripe and red, and her skin as pale as snow. In fact, the beautiful fetishmonger is sometimes mistaken as celestial until she smiles and reveals a mouth full of shark-like teeth.

Den Mother. Every cult set up by the Lodgemaster has one, and only one trophy wife. These fiends are charged with keeping the infernal lodge running from day to day with duties including: running the kitchen and larder, directing the cleaning staff, and organizing the debauched entertainment that draws members in and corrupts their souls. In this last task they procure a variety of illicit substances, sacrificial victims and a cadre of incubi and succubae. Though, the fiend always choses a handful of lodge members warm to her bed. Those that spurn her usually end up on the menu.

Many wonder what the trophy wives' status is in relation to The Lodgemaster. Often times it seems that a female fiend has absolute authority within her personal lodge, ordering the Lodgemaster about and controlling his excesses. Likewise, the Lodgemaster always speaks to a trophy wife in a respectful and playful manner as to a pleasantly beleagured husband. The infernal entities rarely butt heads either, at least publically. It seems the Lodgemaster and the trophy wives see eye to eye on nearly every matter. From past interactions, scholars of the demonic wonder if a trophy wife even knows that others like her exist as when confronted with this information they do not even dignify the questions with a response.

Mistress of the Hunt. Whenever the lodge goes out on the hunt in force the trophy wife accompanies them. She and her infernal attendants set up a home base for the hunters to return to. If one of her fold comes back wounded or even dead, but made a good showing, the fiend will fix them up with her profane artifice and potions. Those she dotes on receive enchanted fetishes to display her favor. From time to time the trophy wife will take to the field herself if she feels peckish or the prey ends up being more than normal lodge members can handle.
