Diabolist Khudalf of El Dorado (#2443)

The Diabolist of El Dorado

He who knows his fate forgets his pain. Khudalf rescinded his birth into the gold riches of fame with a vision to mold and sculpt societies. His beliefs are ancient as the city of El Dorado:

"The blind Force of the people is a Force that must be economized, and also managed, as the blind Force of steam, lifting the ponderous iron arms and turning the large wheels, is made to bore and rifle the cannon and to weave the most delicate lace. It must be regulated by Intellect. Intellect is to the people and the people's Force, what the slender needle of the compass is to the ship--its soul, always counselling the huge mass of wood and iron, and always pointing to the north. To attack the citadels built up on all sides against the human race by superstitions, despotisms, and prejudices, the Force must have a brain and a law. Then its deeds of daring produce permanent results, and there is real progress. Then there are sublime conquests. Thought is a force, and philosophy should be an energy, finding its aim and its effects in the amelioration of mankind."

Khudalf is depicted alongside his familiar, a common swamp bullfrog, to ever-remind himself of the entrancy into muddiness among the world outside his family's palissade walls. He carries virgin's blood, a ritual token of diabolism. His dress is formal, to remember his princely background.
