Hello!
Could you help me? I can't pick out smth good, "to get inside the character" or "personify" seems unemotional.
The context:
.. la première chanson, qui nous parle d'une "cité des anges" et à travers laquelle Mr X se plait à *épouser le personnage* qu'il nomme "the devil" avec un passage où sa voix mue en faveur de celui "auquel vous ne pourrez échapper".
P.S. The quotations are in the text.
Thanks in advance!!

become one with the character
I like the use of "become" as it suggests a transition...
