Beranabus (character)

This is a list of characters found in Darren Shan's The Demonata, a series of books that follows protagonists Grubbs Grady, Dervish Grady, Kernel Fleck and Bec MacConn on their quest against Lord Loss and his demon minions.

Grubitsch "Grubbs" Grady is one of the main characters in The Demonata series. He is the protagonist of Lord Loss, Slawter, Blood Beast, Demon Apocalypse, Wolf Island, and Hell's Heroes. Grubbs makes appearances in Death's Shadow and Dark Calling. In most of the books, Grubbs is afflicted by or is trying to fight lycanthropy.

Grubbs Grady's family has been cursed with lycanthropy for many generations before the start of the first book. Bartholomew Garadex, an ancestor of Grubbs', struck a deal with Lord Loss that if he could beat him at three concurrent games of chess, then Lord Loss would cure a member of the Grady family from the curse. The tournament carried on through the generations of the Garadex/Grady family.

The Connection between Bec and Grubbs/Gret's/Bill's family

The Disciples are a fictional group of mages from Darren Shan's The Demonata series. They travel the world and the Demons' universes attempting to keep humans safe from the demons by stopping power hungry mages from opening temporary "windows" between universes, thus letting them run wild, rapidly killing as many humans as they can before the window closes.

The Disciples claim that Beranabus is their leader, but he only calls on them when he needs them they work on something he can't tend to himself. They are well organized and can cover up any situation that involves demons from getting out to the public. Although there are fairly few mages in the Disciples, they manage with what they have.

Beranabus is a magician and is the half demon son of a woman called Brigitta. Brigitta was engaged to a prince when she was kidnapped and impregnated by a demon. Brigitta returned to the prince, but when he discovered what had happened to her they sent her to King Minos's labyrinth. In the labyrinth she gave birth to a baby boy. When the Minotaur found her and went to strike, she leaned over the infant and whispered in his ear: "your name is Beranabus". The Minotaur killed Brigitta, but gave mercy to Beranabus because he showed no fear and later grew up in the Labyrinth.
