Biography:
There are many different ways to spread the influence of Hell. Sex, drugs, (and rock n’ roll), mind control, manipulation. Melchom, a demon associated with child sacrifice, had a more literal method in mind.
In the Soviet Union, secrets were easy to come by, and even easier to keep. It was easy for Melchom to gather a coven of burrower witches, made powerful by his magic, and to give them a purpose. He would visit Hell, travel to the Isle of the Fae – and, later, once their purpose had been served, bring newborn demonic familiar spirits back up into the world. Newborn children would be taken for host bodies, and the Молох-шабаш, the Moloch-Coven, would raise demon familiars to spread their influence.
Their mission was simple: raise the familiars and send them out into the world, to infect natural witches with demonic magic once they were bound. But, over time, the Молох-шабаш took on new methods. Infiltration, spywork, alliances. Sometimes Melchom’s offspring were monstrous, ill-formed, unable to shift properly or use magic – those were quickly discarded in the Russian winter wastes. The baby familiars that made it were trained in a wide variety of uses; child soldiers in the fight against Heaven.
They were never given proper names, just identifiers for what their familiar forms were. Medved the bear, Cherepakha the turtle, Mysh the mouse, Olen the deer, a couple dozen others. And Koshka, the cat.
He was raised much like any other in the coven: a day-to-day grind of training, testing, propaganda, bland meals, thin mattress and cold underground cells. If asked, he couldn’t say exactly when he was born, or how long he was with the Молох-шабаш.
In the end, it was decided his purpose was to travel to America to make himself useful in the Odium Cartel. Koshka worked his way up from grunt to falcon to weapons specialist, and somehow, he found the time to develop a personality along the way, much to the resignation of the cartel.
Headcanons:
Despite being Russian, Koshka certainly doesn’t seem it. He’s adopted a bland Midwestern accent and a dozen different humorous backstories that he can provide at any moment. Sometimes he tells people his parents sold him for meth, or he was a former athlete star, or he was raised by two loving moms.
His familiar form is a black cat. When he was young, Koshka used to wish it was something cooler. But, with time and age, he realizes the utility of it: he can go anywhere and most people will ignore him entirely. Plus, it’s funny to mess with the superstitious people.
Due to an intense diet of propaganda in his youth, Koshka has very skewed ideas about Heaven and Hell, and the nature of other supernatural creatures.
Koshka is a right arm amputee, and uses a top-of-the-line prosthetic, a gift from the boss of the Odium Cartel once he’d proved his worth.
