They feed me their worst, and I serve it right back to them. And the fear and the prejudice turn to certainty and hate — and I take another bite! What a beautiful, beautiful dance!
―Unidentified Thesulac demon[src]

An unidentified Thesulac demon haunted the Hyperion Hotel, feeding on the insecurities and fears of its guests and staff for nearly 70 years.[1]

Biography[]

The Thesulac that haunted the Hyperion Hotel had claimed the area at least since 1928. Since the suicide of a roofer, the demon caused a number of deaths ranging from suicides to murders.[1]

In 1952, after causing the death of a candle salesman, the Thesulac turned his attention to Judy Kovacs, a young fugitive thief, preying on her fear of getting caught. After taunting her, the demon turned everyone in the hotel against her by making guests and staff believe she had murdered the salesman. Overwhelmed, Judy blamed Angel for the murder, thus causing the mob to lynch the vampire.[1]

Due to the massive feeding, the Thesulac turned corporeal and confronted Angel about his choice to protect the people in the Hyperion Hotel. Angel left the hotel to demon's mind games for the next fifty years. Despite the hotel being closed in 1979, the Thesulac did not need to leave the area; Judy had been traumatized by the ordeal that led to Angel's hanging, thus giving the demon an endless source of nourishment.[1]

In 2000, the Angel Investigations team confronted the Thesulac in the Hyperion Hotel. They made the demon corporeal with a spell and fought him to little effect until Angel wrapped one of the Thesulac's tentacles around the exposed wires of a fuse box, electrocuting the demon to death. Afterward, Angel granted Judy his forgiveness, and she finally died in peace. With the Thesulac dead, the Angel Investigations team took over the hotel as their new headquarters.[1]
