In the lightless depths of the Nine Hells dwells the Lord of Lies. Asmodeus, the ancient and cunning, cloaked in shadow, his true form hidden from all. Millennia of infernal politics could not topple the undisputed King of Baator, though the archdevils serve him through gritted fangs. His power remains unmatched by devilkind, and his schemes unfold over spans of time immeasurable. With eyes of blazing ruby, fair of form and honeyed voice, the silver-tongued prince tempts mortal and god alike. Though none can comprehend the labyrinthine motivations of the Cloven One, all tremble at the Serpent's wrath. And yet, beneath his pleasing guise, wounds of eons past still plague the Great Deceiver. His lifeblood weeps from rends no magic can mend, and so the Lord of the Ninth feasts upon mortal souls to fuel his divinity. In his true form, that none may gaze upon and live, he is a devouring serpent. Coiled within the lightless Pit, vaster than the mortal mind can fathom, the snarling fiend dreams of reforging reality to suit his twisted desires. All serve in his grand schemes, pawn and king alike. The multiverse shall tremble when at last his machinations bear their poisoned fruit. But until the appointed hour, the subtle Architect of Hell weaves his web of lies and gilded falsehoods. None may pierce his veil of deception until the Prince of Evil stands triumphant over the ruin of creation. |
