Profane servitors are angels of [[the Shining One]] who have been corrupted by [[Yredelemnul]]. They have a number of potent abilities including resistances to most damage types (including holy) and vampiric/draining attacks. Their most powerful ability is their umbra, a shadow [[aura]] which conceals their allies, making it harder for affected characters to land hits. Demons, undead, and Yredelemnul worshipers are immune to its negative effects. Profane servitors are mercifully rare, only occasionally encountered while wandering [[the Abyss]], [[Pandemonium]], in some Yredelemnul Vault in [[the Depths]], certain [[Crypt]]:3 layouts, and a few [[Ziggurat]] floors.

Profane servitors are fast, resistant to most damage types, including holy damage, and have vampiric/draining attacks on top of whatever brand their demon whip has. Their umbra lowers your accuracy. Profane servitors are rare, occasionally encountered while wandering the Abyss or lower floors of the Crypt, but are more common in Tartarus.
