Belial
Background
Belial was Duane Bradley’s vestigial twin surgically removed when they were teenagers. Belial enjoyed eating junk food like burgers and uncooked hot dogs. It was Belial’s idea to kill the doctors who surgically separated Duane and Belial. Belial was also extremely jealous when Duane spent time with girls.
During the events of Basket Case (1982)
Belial begins his revenge when Duane drops him off at the house of Dr. Julius Lifflander, who participated in the removal of Belial, and murdering him. Belial travel with Duane to New York City. While at a movie theater a thief steals the wicker basket Duane keeps Belial in and runs to the bathroom. The thief kicks open the lock of the basket and Belial immediately attacks the thief, causing the thief to run away in pain. Duane collects Belial and the basket and returns to his hotel room. Duane and Belial go to Dr. Harold Needleman’s office. Belial breaks into Dr. Needleman’s office and kills him while also stealing his rolodex. The following day, Duane shows Belial the television he bought for him so Belial wouldn’t be bored when Duane does his investigation of Dr. J. Kutter. While out on a date, Duane and Sharon kiss, which Belial psychically senses. Belial becomes enraged and tears up the hotel room and television while also screaming. When they hear the commotion a group of Hotel Tenants and the Hotel Manager go to Duane’s room to see what the noise is. Brian “Mikhail” O’Donovan breaks into Duane’s room to steal money. While scrounging for money O’Donovan opens the wicker basket and is attacked by Belial. O’Donovan runs screaming to his room with Belial still attached to his face. The hotel manager and a few other tenants rush into O’Donovan’s room to find him dead. Later after getting drunk with Duane, Casey goes to her room and lays in bed, but is awoken by Belial caressing her chest. Casey screams and runs out of her room and tells the hotel manager about the creature in her room. When they enter her room Belial is gone, having returned to Duane’s room with a pair of Casey’s underwear. The next day Duane and Belial go to the office of Dr. Kutter, and Duane is surprised to find out she is a veterinarian. Duane opens the wicker basket and Dr. Kutter is killed by Belial who shoves her face into a drawer of surgical knives. Later Sharon goes to Duane’s room and tells him about Needleman’s death and asks to stay at his place. Duane agrees, but once Sharon and Duane start to kiss Belial starts screaming and Duane is forced to throw Sharon out of his apartment. At night, Belial escapes from the room and Duane has a dream of himself naked running through the streets of New York City. At Sharon’s apartment, a naked Sharon wakes up to Belial on top of her. Belial chokes Sharon to death while also trying to burrow into her genital region. Duane arrives at Sharon’s house, finds her dead, grabs Belial and returns to their hotel room. Duane starts packing while also yelling at Belial about him never allowing Duane to have a girlfriend. Belial becomes enraged and jumps at Duane knocking them both out the hotel window and onto the fire escape. Duane slowls goes unconscious as Belial holds him around the neck with one hand while Belial holds onto the fire escape railing with the other hand. A group of Street Girls see Duane and Belial and they scream as Belial and Duane plummet to the ground.
