The Eater

The Eater was a malevolent abmortal of unique circumstances. A powerful and immortal being due her merger with a peculiar insect queen spirit, the Eater turned the Four Seasons Hotel in Southampton into a nest of spiritual parasites in the years before 1874. The Eater's insect-spirits infected unwitting hotel guests, turning them into cultists and eventually nightmarish abominations. After some time, even the hotel itself started changing to reflect the otherworldly nature of its denizens.

However, the Eater would met its match in the Krewe, who came to the hotel as guests in 1874. They battled the Eater's mutated minions, before striking the creature herself down. But given her immortal nature, such wounds would not be the end of her. And so, the Krewe torched the hotel and abducted the still-regrowing remains of the Eater for their own purposes. Hagen Richter eventually gave the creature a choice between serving and dying. The creature chose servitude, and was renamed Bug.

Years later, it was Bug who led Victoria Lockhart to Abigail.
