The Quest itself seemed rather simple for a dark mage of Odin's talents: there was apparently to be very little to no combat requirements, which meant Lucifer would not be needed for this event, which was always useful for keeping a low profile. A red skinned, glowing eyes demon with horns and ripped wings was a lot harder to explain to the local populace than a man with olive green hair and a red cloak. The man with olive hair and a red cloak was to act as a mason for the grans Castle for the day, mingling with the other stoneworkers in keeping the castle at its peak condition. However, this was obviously not just a repair job for the castle. If it was, the power of a dark mage would not be required as it was for this one. No, the Quest was much more. It seemed that one of these masons was leaking information about the Phantasm family, information the mason himself was only able to know because of his position, and information that the Phantasm family would much prefer was not known by the general public. Odin had no idea what the information it was he was going to have to be listening out for actually entailed, but he had no doubt it would be one of those 'know it when you hear it' situations. And if not, he'd just pick a random mason and report him for the money. After all, Sirius Phantasm only wanted the name of a mason, even he had no idea which one it would be, and Odin could easily find out the first mason's name and report him, but he thought he might as well try and find out the correct snitch's name and report him. Might as well earn the money he was about to gain.
Reaching the castle, Odin found where the masons were gathered and took off his cloak, eager to start the working day with his upper body exposed and his training joggers being his only clothing besides his shoes, which were a pair of simple running shoes with enough grip to easily get one with the day's work. He approached the man that looked like the chief mason, or at least the one who was ordering everyone around, and the man was quick to send Odin off to working, stopping slightly to peer into the dark mage's eyes and glancing at the metal plates bolted across his shoulders. But, despite the physical abnormalities, he accepted that Odin was fit to work, and made him join a group of four others, with each group being granted a different area of the castle in which to work.
It was a long day, and it didn't take long before Odin started to sweat and get tired, as did all the other men in their group and the other groups. But a long day of work that was still carrying on always loosened men's tongues more than any alcohol could. Having gotten on good enough terms with the men in his group, Odin decided it was about time to uncover the truth about the so called snitch, by asking a very simple question, in a voice that fit the look of the boy as well as the work he was currently doing, a completely faked voice to lure the men into telling him what he wanted to know.
"I'm kind of new in town, but what do you guys think of the Phantasms? After all, we're working for them to build this castle, are they good people, or not?"
The was shuffling between the men before one of them spoke for the rest of Odin's group, with murmurs and nods between the men.
"They give us our work, they pay us and they don't ask questions. Are they morally sound, that's not any of our places to say, but they are good to us, and that's all that counts. However, Jerry really seems to hate them, over in Group C, keeps saying all sorts of things he can about them."
There is was, the information Odin needed. Finishing up the day's work and asking around as to who Jerry was, Odin followed the mason back into Oak town after the day's work, before following him into a back alley, at which point he turned around to address the man who had been tailing him.
"You know, I don't appreciate being followed by anyone, especially not a kid."
At this, Odin's next movements were obvious. he was not permitted to kill the man, but giving him a scare never hurt. Speaking first to the man as Odin, Lucifer appeared and finished what was being said.
"I simply need to ask you a question... Are you the snitch that has been spreading Phantasm secrets."
Seeing the face of a demon before him, Jerry screamed in terror, admitting to everything before running back home, no doubt now having a story that no one was going to believe. With his job completed, and feeling stronger than ever, Odin returned to the castle, collected his reward by naming the snitch, and headed back to his rented room at a nearby inn, content at a day's work completed.

- Spoiler:
Name: Lucifer Morningstar
Elemental Affinity: Fire
Personality: Lucifer Morningstar, the Prince of Darkness and King of Hell, God's original Archangel before he fell, is much like one would expect from a demon. A cold hearted individual that preys on the weakness of others. A manipulator that shows no remorse both in physical and mental combat. In simple terms,: he's a bad guy. Sarcastic and witty, with no care for human souls or the repercussions of his actions. He makes a move, and enjoys the chaos and consequences that arise from it, especially the one's he does not expect.
When in combat, Lucifer is much the same, using his powers to weaken his opponent while outlasting them in Endurance and Mana. He will use every dirty trick in the book to win a fight, not because he needs to but simply because it brings him joy to defeat an opponent both physically and mentally, to see them crumple at your feet as they understand they could never win in the first place, before he ends their lives.
Appearance: Lucifer takes the form of a fiery humanoid demon, with two large, semi-circular horns protruding from his forehead and large, draconic and ripped wings which he can use for flight. His shoulders, arms and legs are covered in brimstone, having formed an almost armour looking coating on his otherwise fire coloured flesh which is shown by both his face, back and chest.
His eyes are a deep red colour and his teeth are shaped into fangs, completing his demonic look along with the wings and horns. He has long dark hair flowing from his head down to his chest, and his lower body is mostly covered by brown coloured training joggers.
Buff: Endurance
