Theories[]
It is unknown what type of demon of lust that Cynthia was, if she was a succubus or a lesser demon of temptation or seduction. She however had a venomous tail, something which other succubae are not known to have, and could also fling her talons as missiles. It is also unknown which prince of Hell she served.
The story opens in a residential high-rise building on The Ave with a neighbouring high-rise building. That makes the block between NE 47th Street and NE 50th Street a possible location.
