Beheriim, The Thousand (bay-hair'-em)

From the Times Before, the Thousand have been agents of the Hellish Desmenses, moving through the Realms of Eldara and spawning the many myths and legands about Devils and their fiendish machinations. The Beherii are clever, strong, charming humanoid creatures that do the work of transferring souls from the many worlds of Eldara to the Red Realm: Infaernos.
Born of Suffering The Berehii are created through a corruption process between a major devil and a willing humanoid creature. The term 'willing' is used broadly here. The process includes combining eleven souls of various beings into the host. The possession of those eleven souls usually drives the host insane. Then there is torture and some magical rituals that produce the desired (or sometimes undesired) style of Berheriim. Since the original creature never survives and is always transformed into a Beheriim with its own mind and body, very few beings are ever truly willing. Most are tricked somehow through devilish charms and empty promises.
Know Your Place All infernal beings are part of an expansive and complicated ranking structure orchestrated by Malfont, the Ruler of Flames. Part of the many tasks assigned to major devils all across Infaernos is to carefully manage the number of Beheriim within the Realms. The true reason is known only to Malfont and like everything else on Infaernos, his reasons are never questioned (out loud).
They are categorized as lesser devils by the scribes and scholars of human lands but they hold a special place in the Brimstone Danse. They will often be put in charge of large units of smaller devils for a variety of purposes but their main function is to travel the Realms via their ability to World Teleport, and usher as many souls to the Red Lord as possible. Any Beherim who falls behind on his or her quotas may be on the unforgiving end of a disciplinary gesture.
Schemes Within Schemes None of the Thousand are perfectly within the control of Malfont and his organization of the Infernal Lands. Since they are created through a combination of other (formerly) free souls there is always a lingering remnant of individuality that often grows and festers over the course of a Beheriim's lifetime.
