Baphomet, Arch-Devil of Chaos and Mutation, Lord of the Fifth
Prince of Beasts, The King of Many Horns, The Horned King, The Maddening One, The Corrupting Force, The True Morality, Brutality Incarnate
Hell is a labryinth of truths and lies, dimensions and layers that quite often contradict one another. Stagnancy is beauty, but the truth of the universe is one law above all: chaos. The universe and reality are but chaos incarnate, the formation of stars and planets alike but the chaos of life. Even the gods themselves can bend the laws of reality to their will, simply because they wish it so. So it is, that Baphomet is born, and where he now still resides. He is the law of constant change, something that angers and brings him into conflict with Mozras of the Fourth Layer quite often. Baphomet is not just the lord of chaos, but also mutation, for mutation and the warping of flesh is but another means of change. The body was not meant to stay as it is, and shall be something new from what it was. It is for this reason the Garuuk blood are seen as his direct offspring, bearing the same visage of beast and man warrped together from insidious pairings. He delights in the horros he brings to the mortal realm, and how every new day spawns something new. He finds mortals fascinating in being creatures of such drive and change, yet they also seem to despise him so for his gifts of mutation. For this he also loves to change people to their more "bestial" nature, and many of his cultists are wildmen or those seeking change. There is power in change, and for this his faithful cry out his infernal name as they inact change in whatever way they see fit.
Change always begins oh so small, and often oh so innocent. A slave wanting to break his chains, by any means necessary. This by itself is not inheritly evil, no it is when Baphomet whispers his sweet words into their ear of his deals that starts the descent into madness. What was simply breaking their chains, becomes killing anyone involved with their capture. This spirals into killing anyone who did nothing to help, on and on the goal keeps getting thrown further and further away as the fallen can do naught but shamble in its direction. Such a spiral fills Baphomet with pleasure, and even laughter from his great tower his realm of Genebru, cackling all the time. However ever since the World Spear crashed upon the mortal world, he has been warring with the Arch-Devil of Deciet and Schemes, Mephistopheles, for total control of the arcane energies. It is for this reason hellish sorrcerors pledge to one or the other, seeking whatever can grant them the most power in return for their soul. Soul is the only currency that works in the hells after all. Regardless, all know the all too obvious symbol of the horned king, and all despair at its arrival.
