Archdemons

Archdemons are the most powerful of demons, the race of fiends that reside in the Abyss.

Origins
The fiends were all created by Vorokar during the First Era, and initially resided on Malumbris before the furious fighting of the Blood War tore that plane apart.

Most archdemons were once generals in the fiends' wars with the forces of good, which were led by Vikyn, Talus, and the archangels. However, Vorokar's generals were tricked into fighting each other; the generals that favored chaos and destruction later became the archdemons.

Most archdemons claim ownership over a layer of the Abyss, but this is not a hard and fast rule. Not all archdemons claim a layer, and not all who claim layers are archdemons.

Archdemons contain minor sparks of divinity. If a demon believes itself to be sufficiently powerful, it will often attack an archdemon, becoming a new archdemon if it succeeds. However, due to the immense power most archdemons can wield over the own layer of the Abyss, it is extremely rare and unlikely for an archdemon to be ousted.

Personality and Appearance
Archdemons, at their core, are allegiant to two ideas: chaos and evil. As a general rule of thumb, archdemons delight in the spreading of both, and will often try to influence mortals to these ends. Archdemons, unlike most of their underlings, can sometimes be reasoned with, however, they're as likely to kill a mortal who tries to summon them as they are to make a bargain.

As they are technically minor deities, archdemons can technically choose to appear in any form they choose, though few actually express this. Most archdemons take on forms relevant to their domain or to their servants.
