In the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE), one of the peoples that worked closely with the Covenant were the Tritons. They served in regions where aquatic demons threatened commerce and land operations. In 9414 GE the Covenant's highest commander, Asmodeus, was banished from the Mortal Systems, made a Fallen Angel. Many thousands picked loyalty over service, following their old commander to his faraway world. One of these was a triton unit named the 82nd Last Hope. On Nessus, an alien world to them, and in a system changing each year, they were transformed by the very nature of the Forge Worlds. Over nine years, the 82nd were war-tempered and made sinister, transformed into a malevolent incarnation of their former Triton-selves, the first of the Sahuagin race.
On 9 War March 9495 GE, the 82nd and their descendants left the seas of Nessus for their old seas on the world of Bal-Kriav. They were charged with carving out a new existence for themselves; and more importantly for their old commander, potential seeds of divine energy, proselytizers and followers for Asmodeus's goal of Ascension.
