Theo Djevelen

Theo Djevelen was the antagonist of Chapter 17: Sympathy for the Devil. He was a dangerous man living in the small French town of La Fin.

History
Djevelen used to be a normal office worker who got involved with the maffia after his brother disappeared. He got badly injured in a shootout. The doctors said he wasn't going to make it, but because of some miracle, he survived. After that, he grew older, but his body didn't. The people of La Fin say it's because he made a deal with the devil.

Westminster Wakeman was sent to La Fin by Mr. Nowhere and Mr. Midnight, old maffia friends of Djevelen, to kill him. When Westminster confronted Djevelen, the old man was shown to still be in excelent shape, being able to take out Wakeman with just a few punches.

In their second confrontation, after Wakeman knocked him down, he says that he never made a deal with the devil, for he is the devil. He then dies from his injuries.
