Personal history
Zehir started life as a demon on the planes of The Abyss where he rose through the ranks by cunning rather than brute force. Any who challenged him openly would often be found poisoned, or disemboweled in the near future rather than bested in mortal combat, as was the norm. Through fear and savagery he built an army of loyal demons beneath him, but even they could not count on him. Known to betray even the most loyal of underlings if it would further his ends.
Though The Abyss is a place of chaotic evil, Zehir's ruthless and unpredictable behavior was too much even for demons and eventually resulted in many demon lords uniting against him and forcing him out. He found his way to Carceri , a land much more suited to his self-serving nature and now rules over the realm.
