Belphegor's Traveling Circus - Pilot Episode Full Animatic (LOOKING FOR MORE VOICES FOR THE PILOT)
Nathan Altenbern for Beezlie - The Chaotic Half of a Villainous Duo
Beezlie is a Soul Collecting demon who serves under McPhisto, a gigantic devil who rules over the Soul Collecting Industry in the Fourth Circle. Beezlie is a centipede-like demon who is romantic and business partners with the other half of the duo; the winged, panther-like Verrier. Both are considered the “best” among all the other Soul Collectors, so much so that they stand among their boss in the court! They both act as “mean girl” type bullies to Belphegor, who they see as “inferior” due to his supposed incompetence. Beezlie is overconfident, and more openly flamboyant in comparison to Verrier, which can often lead to him starting arguments in McPhisto’s building for his own enjoyment. With him being a suck up to the big boss himself much like Verrier is, he thinks he’s immune to getting into huge trouble!
Beezlie is the chaotic and impulsive half of the duo with Verrier, who serves more as a schemer. Beezlie is always the first one of the duo to speak up first or instigate trouble, often without thinking about the consequences. He is also the more cruel one, and tends to find other’s misery hilarious unless it’s his partner who's in trouble. Beezlie is also the more effeminate, hot headed, and flirtatious one of the duo, but he is very faithful to his partner despite his attitude. He will work together with Verrier to make sure that that “pesky” Belphegor won’t succeed and will do whatever it takes for he and Verrier to not lose their own status as “the best soul collector”, something Belphegor may be able to take away!

Have you heard the newsss? Oh, you haven't, have you? Belphegor has once again failed to collect souls again for our Lord McPhisto! Oh how absolutely SHAMEFUL! Ehehehehe! What a fucking buffoon he is! A poor excuse for a demon! And he says that all I ever do is be the neighborhood slut around here, how could he say such a thing to me? Maybe he's just jealous of my flawless looks and that I have a partner while he doesn't! Ehehe! But yessss I just cannot wait to see what McPhisto has in store for our poor, little brit boy. I sure hope the punishment is absolutely wretched, and humiliating!
