Reputed to have been forged by Shaitan himself, the dagger known as The Cursed Talon of Baal is a finely wrought, plain dagger. Devoid of any marking whatsoever, the dagger appears to be made of solid gold. At the pommel, and at either end of the guard, three perfect, large rubies are held in place by the most delicate of fixtures. The dagger is cursed. Whoever has possession of it is loathe to relinquish it for any reason. As a matter of fact, the Talon and its owner cannot be parted save by robbery, or loss. In addition, the owner gains a new friend, a demon by the name of Goratrix, resides in the dagger, forced to plague any who carry it. At first, she can only manifest as a minor nuisance, appearing from time to time to harass the owner, but as time goes on, and as the dagger is used, the demon gets stronger. (Treat this as Demon Hounded (from V:tDA), starting at 1, and raising by one each time the special ability of the dagger is used).Normally, the dagger will do normal damage (STR+2), but if a willpower is spent, the dagger will do terrible damage to any who are struck (STR+4 aggravated, garou treat this as silver). When this is done, the demon Goratrix gains in power as the corruption of the owner continues (Demon Hounded + 1).
It is said that the only way for the demon to be released, and the dagger destroyed, is for the owner to go through an elaborate ritual, ending with his or her suicide using the Talon.
