Scene 1:
The Devil's Den Part 1

Hans:
The Devil's Den used to be a part of Jollyland. But years ago — the previous Queen...

Krampus: The previous Queen?
Wait...What was her name? Was it Queen Dita?

Hans: No. Of course not. I mean King. King Chamberlain got rid of The Devil's Den because of its new regulations, but now Candy Cane road doesn't even lead there anymore...so I ended up inheriting it right away —

Krampus: Smart move. So, Queen Chamberlain and Santa Claus (banished) banished me, huh?

Hans: Don't worry. We'll get our vengeance.
Once I learned that they had shunned you away. I knew that I had to unleash you and pair up.

Krampus: 25 years down the drain. Seems like my brother is more like Satan than Santa to me. I lost my purpose, forgot who I was. What took you so long?

Hans: Better late than never. Huh?
Well... We're here.

Scene 2:
The Bakers and La Befana Part 1

Henry: Hans Trapp? (Pronounced like Tra - Opp)
Who's Hans Trapp?

Befana: The most evil Christmas demon of them all.
Once upon a time, Hans was a greedy man, who wanted to take charge of the Christmas celebrations so he could collect all the revenues.

Emily: His real name was Hans Von Trotha. In 1480, the elector enfeoffed him with the two castles of Berwartstein and Grafendahn which lay in the South Palatine part of the Wasgau region within the Palatinate Forest.

Befana: Hans von Trotha was a knight who lived from 1450 to 1503 and served for the German Princess Perchten.

Emily: However, Hans was caught by Perchten for stealing money from the (revenues from the Christmas celebrations intended for the) Catholic Church.
& Because of his crimes, Perchten ordered him to be hanged.

Befana: But —He evaded his trial and would stop at nothing to become the richest man in the German States.
Unbelievably, he ended up selling his soul to be the devil...

Emily: Which gave him the power to aid Saint Nicholas —right by his side—
Some demons transformed him into a beloved popular Christmas character. (Using deception only the devil can use to charm everyone)

Befana: And grew rich. Very rich. But it didn't last long.
Saint Nick witnessed Han's true character not long after. Saint Nick parted ways with him when he caught Hans trying to eat a small boy. Saint Nick was horrified and reported Hans' evil ways to the church, so that they could pray for God to step in.
He was supposed to be sent away forever.

Henry: So, he is worse than Krampus?

Befana: Much worse.
Krampen is half mortal, half demon. Hans Trapp is only a "demon."  A full demon.  Only evilness drives his soul. He'll prey on anyone, but he'll especially prey on the children and teens because their judgment isn't fully developed yet and they're easy prey on.
