Background
Despite his irritability Husk is wise and empathetic, especially toward Angel Dust, with whom he shares a duet in "Masquerade". In "Dad Beat Dad" he warns Alastor not to trust Mimzy and lets slip that Alastor is "on a leash" to someone else. In season two he is freed from Alastor's control when Vox captures the Radio Demon; in "Scream Rain" he finds Angel performing in drag at a casino and the two talk about how painful redemption is, and in the finale he and Cherri Bomb rescue Angel from VoxTek.
Husk is pansexual and originated in Medrano's webcomic ZooPhobia.
