Arnold Dimple
In hell Arnold makes a deal with Devil. Arnold is turned into formless demon called Fiend, which feeds on humans’ anger and could possess them. After the deal, he lost his memories, and only remembered his hatred towards Savage Dragon. He returned to earth and started to take control over various people who hated Dragon and attacked him.
Charley McArthur
The Fiend entity first host was an accountant for the Chicago Police Department named Charley McArthur who hated Dragon, but he had nowhere near enough hatred for Dragon to kill him. Charley was shot dead by Frank Darling and his fellow officers, before the Fiend entity departed he vowed to find a more suitable host next time.
Doug Herman
The second host of the Fiend entity was Doug Herman, his hatred for Dragon was fueled by R. Richard Richards and his Chicago Voice newspaper. The new host was much stronger than last host, he beat Dragon until Doug realized that he had been tricked and lost his hatred for Dragon. He became weakened and was killed when Dragon snapped his neck.
Bonnie Harris
Bonnie Harris was mother of Debbie, and blamed Dragon for her death. This made her the perfect host for the Fiend and he offered her a chance to be his host willingly. She agreed to get their revenge on Dragon, as the Fiend she was most powerful than with other hosts. Bonnie as fiend resurrected Debbie and other dead police officers to attack Dragon. Bonnie refused to kill Dragon because his soul would go to Heaven with her daughter.
Boonie Goes To Hell
She returned and killed Dragon, sent his soul to hell with the help of a sorcerer. She watched Dragon in hell not suffering and went to Hell herself. While there Dragon figured out that Fiend is Arnold, which triggered Arnold ‘s memories. Bonnie was shocked to find that it was Arnold who actually shot Debbie and the two separated. Bonnie declared that she will no longer honor her deal with the Devil, but The Devil refused, and wanted to keep both Dragon and her in Hell. Then God arrived and defeated The Devil, Bonnie pleaded to God to go to Heaven, but God banished her to the depths of Hell. Arnold saw what happened to Boonie with God and he jumped into depth of Hell himself.
