History
At an unspecified moment, Aldo, Joey, and a nameless third sibling all struck an agreement with the devil, handing over a cost that was never disclosed. In return, each of them can lay a hand on a dead body and reshape their own form into a copy of that corpse. Within the larger cast it sits among the body-themed devils that also take in the Blood, Ear, Legs, Muscle, Mouth, and Teeth Devils, with the AIDS, STD, and Sickness Devils loosely tied to the same idea through the illnesses they carry.
