The Bad Man is a powerful, maleficent spirit which can appear in many places at the same time. His existence causes people to fear contact between the Spirit Plane and the world, for he seeks to halt completely the dissemination of magical knowledge.
Ever since the Horned Man spread the secret of shamanism across the world, the Bad Man has become the special foe of shamans, eternally seeking to destroy them before their spiritual birth.
It is said that he appears in a wide variety of forms, usually becoming whatever the viewer fears most.
