What is a Cambion?

What is a cambion? In myth and literature, a cambion is usually described as being the child of an incubus or succubus or demon and a human. Probably the most well known cambions are Caliban from Shakespeare's The Tempest, and the wizard Merlin whose mother was said to have been raped by the incubus demon Asmodeus. Both Merlin and Asmodeus are Characters in "The Jezebel of Bedlam."

Cambions can appear dead, showing no signs of life for up to seven years. This is what happened in the case of one of the daughters in "The Daughters Return" (due for publication in 2020).

Not understanding that her daughter wasn't entirely human, her mother assumed she really was dead, which is why she was able to leave her....

Are cambions immortal? It depends on which myth you read. In my stories, it depends on their demon parent and why they were created. Merlin is immortal in this story because he was created to stop the development of Christendom and keep Europe in the dark ages. Obviously, this could have taken longer than the average human lifespan so he was "made" by Asmodeus with that in mind. I have decided that the Jezebel cambions are not immortal. There may be other cambion characters to come that will be immortal... I haven't decided yet 😉.
