MEET TWO VERY DIFFERENT SOULS...
The concept of a malevolent demon didn't exist in human society until relatively recently, when a mistranslation and simplification of two similarly-defined words, angelos and daimones, both messengers from God, forever broke the two into distinct entities - one benevolent, and the other the servant of the recently-established devil. Before that, philosophers and scholars freely discussed the human soul, or daimon, and its ability to continue on, transcending the human body after death.
Frederick doesn't know about any of this nonsense, and he doesn't give a crap. He's got bodies to borrow, and sex to be had.
Samuel just wants to be accepted and loved, to be a member of a family - an experience stolen from him when he was murdered.
