Biography
Enmu barely withstanding the new power
At an unknown point in his life, he was turned into a demon by Muzan and became part of the Lower Demon Moons. He appeared at one of the meetings, when Muzan explained he would disband the Lower Moons. Enmu enjoyed seeing the other demons get killed one by one. Muzan then asked for Enmu's last words to which he thanked him for having being able to create so much suffering. Muzan then decided he was worth keeping alive and gave him more of his blood making him stronger. Enmu's body could hardly process so much new strength and he almost died.
Later he attacked a train and manipulated the conductor into helping him. He then sent some of his demon desciples to attack them. He used his power to put all of the passengers to sleep. He planned to use some kids as his servants by promising them happy dreams. He gave them a rope he created that allowed them to enter the dreams of the other sleeping passengers. They should then destroy their "spirits cores", which would turn them into living corpses, easy for Enmu to later devour. He targeted the Demon Slayers first, as they pose the biggest threat to him and destryoing their cores severes the conscious from the unconscious and prevents them from fighting back. During that time, he started to fuse his body with the train itself and detached flesh from himself to form another body.
Enmu attacking Tanjiro after becoming the train itself
He was surprised to see that Tanjiro managed to wake up from his dream through his strong will. Enmu then explained that he enjoys giving people nice dreams, only to turn them into nightmares later. When seeing, that Tanjiro was the one Muzan was after, he saw his chance to get even more blood from him as a reward. He then tried to put Tanjiro to sleep again, but failed and his second body was beheaded. He then revealed how he fused with the train and felt invincible, mocking Tanjiro and enjoying his shocked expression. He prevented them from attacking the train by using the passengers as shields. However, the Demon Slayer Kyojuro cut off the complete front part of the car. Enmu didn't even consider something like this to happen and wallowed in disbelief as he died.
