Lord Loss (character)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lord Loss is the Demon Lord from Darren Shan's 10 book series The Demonata. Lord Loss is supposedly the cause behind all sorrow and despair in the world; and his ways are what brings forth and Kernel Fleck into the Demon Universe.

Lord Loss is the only character to appear in all books so far, and is likely to appear in all of them.

He is the cruelest character in the books. Two of the three times that people betray their allies, he does not permit them to live. He also kills people in the cruelest way possible. In Bec he kills a woman by tormenting her with zombies of her dead children. Eventually she goes down to them and they kill her.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] Lord Loss

Lord Loss is the first demon to be named in this book, although Vein and Artery were described before him. He first appears during the slaughter of Grubbs' family, and then comes back later to play chess against Dervish and Grubbs, where he is beaten.

[edit] Demon Thief

Lord Loss masterminded the cruel plot to slowly drag Kernel towards him and let him realise the truth about Art.

[edit] Slawter

Lord Loss was the only Demon Master in the town of Slawter. Before the demons were released, he gave a speech to the crowd, then unleashed his mutant followers. He has one on one fights with both Dervish and Grubbs, but eventually they escape along with about 30 survivors.

[edit] Bec

Lord Loss purposefully assisted to destroy the demon attacks on Ireland, due to the fact that the human world was where he got his power from, through misery and sorrow. However, he did not permit any of the group that destroyed the tunnel to live. It is in this book he first learns about chess, as he sees Drust playing it.

[edit] Blood Beast

In the section Darren Shan read at the Edinburgh book festival, Lord Loss appeared on a plane.
