The Heretic's Court,[1] also spelled Heretics' Court,[2] is a council that governs the affairs of Demons.[2] It is a council of 13 ebon demons that watch over Himself, the King of Demons, to make sure he does not get out of his prison. They take their role very seriously. All major criminal activity through Demon syndicates in throne requires his approval though, so they still let him hold court.[3] They are noted to be a match for the Prime Angels.[3]
They are based in a pleasure house in Ashton[4] called the White-Eyed Woman.[5] They spend their free time eating human flesh to sustain their parasitic soul flames.[1] The remains become "hollows".[6] They had a peace with The Seven until the actions of Yabalchoath disrupted things.[7] Afterwards, the court conspired with the Priests of the Count to bring down Yabalchoath again.[8]
