Mental characteristics
Personal history
Mazahr is the only one of her kind in Baathos, born of the mages and kings who were damned to hell for their inaction in the face of violence or other evils. Mazahr began as a hag, who extracted the ssence from waking subjects on the Rack to twist and turn into other Fiends. Mazahr took a little of their Essence as payment, as was agreed with Asmodeus', over time however the Essence of these wretched souls changed the Hag into something else. Countless centuries led to Mazahr becoming increasingly powerful, yet disinterested as the ambition was drained from her form. Mazahr had expected this, to some degree, and so from time to time would imbue her power into strange worms that fed on souls. This allowed Mazahr to feast and gain power when needed without the taint of these apathetic souls tainting her ambitions. Mazahr, with the aid of Belial, used her reputation as the Maiden of Sloth to invite Jhorlax the Duke of Vaurus to a strange gathering in Gaedaros. Jhorlax underestimated the Maiden of Sloths ambition, and was surprised to find her coven of hags waiting for the Fiend, where they ripped into him and claimed his Essence. Asmodeus' was forced to gift Jhorlax's duties and territory to Belial for a time, as Mazahr was an outsider who had slain the Duke outside of Baathos she had no rights to claim his titles. Belial is one of the few Dukes of hell to rule two lands for any meaningful time, until eventually Mazahr used the memories stolen from Jhorlax when she consumed his essence to entice Mephistopheles into a pact. The two called a gathering of the Dukes, but met with Belial before hand where Mazahr revealed a secret Belial had hoped died with Jhorlax. Mazahr, her sisters, and Mephistopheles blackmailed the Lord of Lies before the gathering had taken place, and with little resistance Belial offered the Lordship of Vaurus to Mazahr. Mazahr and her sisters have since taken great strides in fortifying the lands of Vaurus, with no intention of losing their station the Maiden of Sloth similarly has no intentions of rising above this station or risk her strange pact with Mephistopheles. Over time Mazahr's sisters have mysteriously vanished, or died under suspicious circumstances. The Maiden of Sloth hasn't remade her Coven, though its unlikely she will as many assume she killed her sisters for the Essence they had taken from Jhorlax centuries prior.
