Enokaryns, commonly referred to as Frost succubi, are mostly found in a frost plane in Hell called Acheron. They typically possess a blueish or purpleish pale skin and are very powerful cold-based spellcasters.
The realm of Acheron is, from the main part, an extremely hostile frozen desert, dangerous to all creatures, even demons. Thus, enokaryns and other demons in Acheron tend to group together in a few large cities. This suits enokaryns perfectly, as they are more of an urban race anyway. They are fascinated by crowded places, full of life, commerce, intrigues, and political schemes. Enokaryns are often seen as the most refined species of succubi, despising war and preferring art and diplomacy. They form a manipulative and devious species, very hard to read. Skilled schemers, they seem to possess an innate aptitude for making long-term plans, carefully weighting their options, and anticipating every possible future development in a given situation. Lying, seducing, and using others is second nature to them, making them skillful politicians. However, the point of the game is to have others do their part willingly, through bribes, diplomacy, bargains or seduction, never resorting to violence... or at least never *being seen* resorting to violence. Murder is perfectly acceptable as long as you are not caught, but there is nothing an enokaryn loves more than achieving her goal in a perfectly legal manner, including having her snack walk right down in to her maw because they were tricked by a contract into doing so. The code of laws of Acheron itself is something incredibly twisted, complex, cold, and sometimes absurd, which a mortal could spend their entire life studying before grasping only the basics. It's no wonder one of the favorite recreational activity of enokaryns is the Frost Gate, a game with tortuous and changing rules, requiring a lot of wit, knowledge and a very quick mind.
Making a deal with an enokaryn is a very risky business, as most of them are very clever and know how to bend a seemingly straight-forward pact into virtually anything they desire through subtle interpretations, much like a genie. They adore putting little traps, backdoors, provisions that can be interpreted in multiple ways, or clauses in fine print to gain every little advantage they can. It must be noted that, most often, when a frost succubus writes a contract with a human, she will put a explicit clause in plain sight allowing her to eat the human under certain circumstances. The motivation behind it varies, though; sometimes it's only as a custom, or to add some thrill to the deal...
