Changes
Appears to have significant knowledge regarding [[The Crushing Fist]] and the dangerous entities associated with it.
When [[Conn Thompson]] attempted to use the [[Soul Reader (Book)]] on him, it was unable to read his soul, and reported a critical error. The interaction of the device with The Sword appeared to unleash a separate entity that was within The Sword, which turned his eyes black and imbued him with immense strength, and even the ability to forcibly stretch open a closing portal. He appeared to be aware of the presence of the second entity within him, and warned [[Conn Thompson]] and [[Vasiliev Blaku]] that what he had experienced and seen had changed him. When queried further by [[Conn Thompson]] regarding his possession and whether he had made a deal with the devil, The Sword responded that he had, in a manner of speaking, but that "she pulled one over on me". This may be in reference to the [[Regret Demon]] and its human representative or puppet.
The entity inhabiting Brigadier General and controlling him while the [[Soul Reader (Book)]] is active seems to have destructive intent, as it plans to deactivate the golden [[Inner Shield]] protecting it from [[The Crushing Fist]]. Whether this will result in the destruction of [[The First World]] is unknown, as the forces of [[The Crushing Fist]] are being amplified and concentrated by the [[Inner Shield]].
