I think Kiya is right - again ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
When the original poster said "pets" he may have meant exactly that. The story does tell us (somewhere <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) that Samuel likes to keep a few prisoners as "pets" to torture etc. (it does actually use the word pets, from memory). So we do start the game in the somewhat humiliating (but intentional) position as "pets" of a demon.
