Okay, so Felipe ate a few of the Styx sea creatures. In his defense, they were awfully tasty. Depleting the monster reservoir didn’t mean Lucifer had to go all Lord of Hell on him and order him to go on a stupid mission. And to Siren Isle of all places!

Not long after his arrival, he runs into problems, which he’s only too happy to solve in a permanent and violent fashion.
