The Jack (aka Old Scratch)

Domain: Deals | District: The Bizarre Bazaar

Details

The Jack manifests as a lean, well dressed man with yellow eyes and a perpetual grin framed within a neat goatee. This manifestation is constant whether he appears in the City Slumbering or the City Beneath.

Jack's Lieutenants are the Devi, and the Raggle Taggle are his Soldiers (see Lesser Nightmares below).

Jack is not the most imposing of Nightmares, but his webwork of deals means he has more real power than most.

The Blood Queen

Domain: Hunger | District: Paradox Square

Details

The Lady

Domain: Death | District: The Tower of the Moon

Details

Appearing as a young woman with blonde air and ink-black eyes in a black dress or business suit in the City Slumbering, it is said strange stars can be seen twinkling in her eyes and clothes. She always has a brace of curved bone daggers on her person. Both blades are stained a deep red along their edges.

She has never been seen in the City Beneath, but her presence is always felt.

The Fool is her sole Lieutenant, and the Willow Women are her Soldiers.

Baron Samedi

Domain: Debauchery | District: The Narrows

Details

Baron Samedi manifests as a drunk or gambler or conman in the City Slumbering and always bears the mark of a skull somewhere, be it tattoo or jewelry or print.

In the City Beneath, he is a tall, bald black man in a top hat and an ill-fitting, oversmall black tuxedo. He wears the visage of a bone-white skull painted across his face.

The Hound Master is his Lieutenant, and the Black Dogs are his Soldiers.

The Wretched

Domain: Darkness | District: The Catacombs

Details

The Wretched is a towering gnarled Nightmare who might be encountered as a hideous, pale troll-like hag or slithering through her catacombs like some great pale serpent or ancient withered vine.

In the City Slumbering, she invariably chooses the form of a plump old schoolmarm with coke-bottle glasses and breath that might smell either of candy or rot.

Her Lieutenants, if she has any, are never seen, but her Inklings are vicious Soldiers, and they are Legion.
