Summary There are demons so terrible that no mortal man of God could successfully drive them back to Hell. The only option is for the exorcist himself to invite possession and then commit suicide, dragging along the demon to damnation, so the Augustine Interfaith Order of Hellbound Saints or Hellbenders was formed.
