So when I'm assigned to tutor him in physics, I tell him flat out I'm not gonna go easy on him. I won't be swayed by his ridiculously sexy dimpled smile. Or the fact that he actually shows up for our sessions.

Arioch loves his job; creating chaos and encouraging revenge is fun, and if he pranks a few demons, angels, and humans along the way, all the better.
