Herman Haas is the last of his family line from Germany. His family was infamous for creating the "jinx of the blue candle", which is a blue wax candle that, when breathed upon by the victim, will cause the victim to die after the flame flickers out. Herman had destroyed the candle-making book and wants to never continue this family practice. When Satan (Lucifer H. Diablo) himself visits Herman, he forces him to make a blue candle from memory. Herman tries to escape but is killed. However, Satan had breathed on the candle and is destroyed once the flame flickers out.
