Sister Mary Loquacious/Mary Hodges
Warlock is raised as the son of the American Attaché and Mrs. Dowling—and until he turns 11, Aziraphale and Crowley believe that he’s the Antichrist. Warlock is a shy, quiet boy whom Crowley suspects from the beginning is too normal to be the Antichrist. While not wholly good and kind by any means, Warlock is afraid of lots of things, and he doesn’t seem as powerful as the Antichrist should be. In Crowley’s opinion, is just too normal. In fact, Warlock is actually the Youngs’ biological child, but he (rather than the Antichrist) ended up with the American Attaché due to a mix-up at the hospital. Crowley and Aziraphale only figure this out when the hell-hound doesn’t show up at Warlock’s 11th birthday party.

Quotes
They’d come up with some stomach-churning idea that no demon could have thought of in a thousand years, some dark and mindless unpleasantness that only a fully functioning human brain could conceive, then shout “The Devil Made Me Do It” and get the sympathy of the court when the whole point was that the devil hardly ever made anyone do anything. He didn’t have to. That was what some humans found hard to understand. Hell wasn’t a major reservoir of evil, any more than Heaven, in Crowley’s opinion, was a fountain of goodness; they were just sides in the great cosmic chess game. Where you found the real McCoy, the real grace and the real heart-stopping evil, was right inside the human mind.
