Prince Flail Their Limbs was an Andelainian Demon of royal blood--i.e., a 'Demon Prince'. He was massive--roughly twice the height of an adult human male. He had a blunt, broad head with vivid emerald-green eyes, a completely hairless blue-coloured body, and huge taloned hands.[1] The Demon Prince wore large iron torcs on his upper arms and was clad in supple furs, oiled chain, and assorted other accoutrements.[2]
In The Fiends of Nightmaria[]
Prince Flail Their Limbs held a festive tête-à-tête dinner--complete with scented candles, sweet wine served in gold goblets, and a spit-roasted priest of Dessembrae as an entree--with the eminently desirable High Concubine Allgiva as his guest. The two had just started in on the entree when the Demon Prince suddenly found himself summoned to a pentagram in the necromancer Bauchelain's Conjuration Chamber, located in the Royal Palace of Farrog.[3]
The powerful Demon Prince was furious to once again find himself enslaved by the necromancer but calmed somewhat when Bauchelain laid out the task at hand. Korbal Broach's prisoner, the Indifferent God, had escaped his captivity in the Royal Palace's lowest dungeon and wandered its floors looking for a new host to possess. The Demon Prince was to hunt down and slay the God with the aid of a small army of demonic minions Bauchelain had summoned for the task. Flail Their Limbs promised to chew the God to pulp, but warned Bauchelain not to send him anywhere near his "creepy companion" Broach and to summon a better class of minion as one of the last "ankle-high little shits" had "tried climbing up my butthole".[4][5]
When the Nehemothanai (Steck Marynd, Tulgord Vise, Tiny Chanter, Flea Chanter, and Midge Chanter) escaped their cell in the palace dungeons, Seneschal Shartorial Infelance brought them to the throne room to slay Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. But the necromancers had already fled Farrog in the face of an invading Nightmarian army. Instead, they found only Flail Their Limbs whose nose they slammed with the door while bursting in. The Demon Prince had been unsuccessful in his search for the Indifferent God and had come to make his own claim to the throne. But he warned the Nehemothanai it was too late; Bauchelain had left behind a demonic mouse as his heir. He told the skeptical hunters to "beware Bauchelain's sense of humour. The punchline of every one of his jokes is announced in a welter of blood, guts and messy death!" After the demon fled, the Nehemothanai chose not to obey his advice and their attack on the mouse caused the palace to collapse.[6][7]
