A beautiful girl named Guttiere happened to meet him under dramatic circumstances. And the devil turned out… to be an amphibian man by the name of Ichthyander. His origin is unusual, his life is mysterious and full of riddles. His element is the sea, he can not stay long with ordinary people on earth.
