Demogorgon, the Prince of Demons, is perhaps the most powerful demon lord in all of the Abyss. Master of three worlds, he spends much of his time on Abyssm, plotting and scheming.
In the Abyssal Release (7777 DE - 8777 DE), the demons of Piranoths Steps mounted a massive offensive against the primordials. Demogorgon, a primordial corrupted by the Threads of Damnation would rise from petty status to demon lord by war's end.
In 8066 DE, Demogorgon and the primordial Hon'palos teamed up, capturing Storralk. Taken back to Abyssm, Storralk was magically sunk into Demogorgon's Bleeding Throne.
In the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), Demogorgon was one of many demon lords that took advantage of the chaos that followed the primordial's defeat.
Master, a few self-proclaimed lords have begun the invasion of Quara'tun. General Siva'yah requests that we begin our assault.
Tell that fool to never underestimate the Covenant. We do this slowly, and most importantly letting others be the cannon fodder.
- Drachgarr, court adviser to Demogorgon - "Quara'tun Invasion Planning"
In 98 GE, Demogorgon's armies invade the Hells Womb region of Bal-Kriav. They would have caused a lot more destruction and problems for the gods and angels if not for the disaster at Ladneg. Before this time, Covenant intelligence said Demogorgon was extremely charismatic, the best leader they have, not bound by good, he will use any measure to gain victory. He has no desire for wealth, giving most away to his soldiers. After Ladneg, Demogorgon became conflicted, two minds that were once one, now competed with each other. When it was learned what Demogorgon was a changed "man", Covenant leaders sighed with relief, nodding and raising mugs to the archangel Lukoon, known for his uncanny luck.
In addition to Hells Womb, his armies pushed into the Tribe Steppes and the Great Expanse. They generally avoided Grashakh because of its rugged terrain and aptness of Covenant generals to pin down the demons greater numbers in valleys and defiles.
Thanks to those that made copies of his book Square Nails, Demogorgon became a cult power on 10 Bloom 666 LE. His cultists spread his word by way of his accursed book.
In the Phael-Tetramord War (10 - 25), a number of elves were duped or lured into calling upon demoniac aid. This happened over decades and led to a degradation in the morality of many elves of Phael. The final outcome of demonic assistance resulted in the opening of the Ungorth Reddik Road; a rift linking Turgon with the world Abyssm. Demons flooded through this gateway, attacking both parties of the conflict.
The demons that came down the Ungorth Reddik Road were minions of Demogorgon. They subjugated those that were too slow to leave Turgon. Today, the entire continent of Turgon is ruled by demon generals under this demon lord. They have long worked to find a way through the Turgon Boundary Ward. It is unlikely they will ever break it, since this ward was erected by the god Arcana.
Demogorgon has two independent thinking heads, one named Aameul and the other Hethradiah. They usually work together towards common goals, but have diverged on a number of occasions. One one such occasion where one head plotted against the other, it led to the creation of the troglodyte race.
