Breeds
As stated before Daemons are typically born through two separate means. One, a lone mortal soul dwelling in the chaos and their negative emotions slowly corrupting it over time. Two, one naturally born in a similar fashion as a Deity, though they lean more on the darker end of the spectrum as they dwell from discord. Daemons born from the second means typically scale on being as strong as Deities, which is one of the many reasons why a majority of the Lord of the Abyss (the major ruling class) belong to this breed. Because of these factors many of the second breed tend to look down on the first, as they themselves are tied directly to their previous life and some even rejecting their new forms. Due to all of these factors the second breed view themselves as pure for lacking these previous lives that would bring them down and ultimately be the ones with the most power within their territory.Perception and Sensory Capabilities

History
According to lore, when the Architect asked that every once in a while Celestial’s should gather up lost souls of the dead and bring them to paradise many did so begrudgingly without too much issue. However, as time went on and their creator slowly began to go quiet many of them started to question the task. After a while a few began to point out how many mortals pointed out how many of these souls don't deserve to live in such a beautiful land and found a loophole about how there nothing saying they had to take in every soul. So, after a while they only let in souls that follow a code like theirs, individuals deemed pure, and in a way tolerable. As a result, many souls that didn't meet these criteria were not granted access and were left to wander the wild fields of Otherworld to live in a state of terror and fear of this strange realm. Though some would be found and taken in by Deities of the Underworld attribute for safety, many still were left behind and overtime this began to take its toll on their psyche as they long to obtain a sense of peace that they once had back when they were alive.
As time went on, they would indirectly affect the area around them and in some cases themselves as they transform and became violent lifeforms that desire to consume and retain a peace that the can never obtain so long as they try to cling to their issues.
After a while this new race that represents chaos began to flourish in the vast lands of this chaotic realm, covering many corners in attempt to gather up many more souls to torture or consume to best further their own strength or create more like them. The Celestials have found this new development to be infuriating since they were beginning to become a bigger issue as they were even infiltrating the lower dimensions to consume the mortals across the universe. Conflicts were sprouting all over and were later put to rest when the stronger level Daemon were taken under the influence of Lucifer after he left his brethren and was sent to the 'lowest' point of the Otherworld. There he began to create a system that had them operate in designated areas that Celestials would be more lenient on and over time began to a settle a form of truce to prevent a total annihilation of their kind. Given a few years he even developed a hierarchy that involved high ranking Daemons that would be referred to as the 7 Lords of the Abyss.
When the Forsaken appeared and started to conquer the cosmos, many Daemons left to join up with wining side that was this god, but this end resulting in the crippling of their forces and the loss of a few lords. By the end of the Lost Age the remaining high ranked Daemons have lost their forms and remained in hell to regain strength while weaklings try to scavenge for power and strength. Though with the rise of Celestial activity on laces like Earth and species like Humans that developed techniques such as Qi Form, they've had a hard time actually achieving any of their goals in this day and age.
Historical Figures
Seven Lords:
Queen Lilith, one of the earliest ancestors of the human race that would later rise through the ranks of the Daemon race by using both her physical traits, strong drive, and deceptive personality. She took over the role as one of the 7 lords after the passing of Asmodeus during renaissance. She is also referred to as the 'Mother of Demons' and 'Queen of the Night'.
Lord Beelzebub, not much is known about his past for there have been reports of him possibly in reality be an ancient Earth Deity from the Philistines, while others claim him to at one point being an associate of king Solomon. Whatever his origin many can agree that he is one to be feared when it comes to his hunger for combat. Nicknames include the title of 'Lord of the Flies' or 'Lord of Lies'.
Sir Barbatos, might be one of the youngest of the 7 lords obtaining his status through his years of manipulation and his huge amassing of followers, treasures, and his vast connections to all corners of the universe. Usurped the previous lord Mammon to obtain his status. One name he has been given over the years was 'The Bearded Man'.
The Sleeping Belphegor, it was stated by some scholars that in his prime he was known to tempt those who were considered lazy by offering easy means of achieving a vast fortune or adventure, though their seems to be little to no evidence of this that can be found in the Arcane Institute archives. Rumors of this he currently hides out and lives in isolation at the other side of the universe where it is quiet and has little noise. Also known as the 'Sleeping King'.
The Destroyer Husk, a demonic Deity that consumed many including several Daemons to achieve his power and at one point traveled to Otherworld to train after the fall of the Forsaken, there he supposedly fought the king himself and fought to a draw. Right then and there he was granted a title as one of the lords, though he shows little to no interest in ruling the domains of Hell even though he has many Daemons that willing want to follow him. He was at one point the God of War and Death on his home world of Ashuro until it was consumed by the Forsaken during the Lost Age.
Admiral Levi, the child of the late Daemon lord Leviathan and rules over the the chaotic oceans that presides over the outer domains of Hell and branch out to all sorts of places within the Otherworld. She took over after her father was slain by Celestials during a skirmish that occurred at the borders of the 3rd plain when he tried to assault the worlds of the cosmos. She has then warranted a massive grudge against the guardians of paradise ever since. A title she inherited from her father was 'Beast of the Chaotic Sea'.
King Satan or Lucifer, a Celestial who after the Celestial reformation and reconstruction, was chosen to set up as the figure to represent the embodiment of evil. Not much is known about him personally and as of late he has gone into a state of isolation, some claiming that it might have had something to do with his years of treatment, his fight with Husk, or maybe he just grew bored of his domain. He is also a being known for possessing many names and titles, so many that scholars have trouble actually pinning something on him to begin with.
