[@Lord of Evil]

When I made the cs, his hiding was to go with the original idea of the ring (which sealed his full power and he could gain it back but only if someone else removed the ring). It this setting where demons were just removed from top of the lost and a hero who has gone full tyrant, trust would have been a big issue. I was gonna use Astiroth as some sort of center point for that trust. The humans would have trusted him more since he appeared human and the demons wouldn't. And when the time came for his big reveal, it would taught the humans that they have entrusted a demon the entire while the demons refused to trust their own kind just because of his appearance. I thought it would have been an interesting point in terms of trust within the group.

But that was just it. Astirother has no magic. They only thing that identifies him as a demon is his physical appearance and physical abilities. He literally can't develop magic. It was in my cs. His body can not manifest magic. Which is why I believed the ring would have done a good job, all the ring does ishe make his physically weaker. His neckalce doesn't have to cloak anything but his physical form. He has no aura or magic. He is literally a pure physical character.
