Peh'E Zain the Prince of Pain

First of His Name The Learning Lash and King of Ash

Peh'E Zain is a Demon of Wrath that came into being during the Reign of Ashurbanipal. He is a spiritual representation of retribution, compelled to inflict compensatory punishment. Native to the 7th Ring of Tartarus, Peh'E Zain emerged from the Sea of Boiling Blood and made war on the Profligate Souls of the inner ring. At the time of the Cataclysm Peh'E Zain was freed to walk the Earth, finding many mortals in need of divine punishment. However something galled Peh'E Zain, the pain of the innocent saturated the world around him, tainting the sweet taste of suffering. And so Peh'E Zain turned upon the Legions of Tartarus, his fellow demons and their mortal servants the target of his ire. As the Cataclysm raged the armies of Peh'E Zain grew, and with it the Demon of Wrath ascended in power. When the Cataclysm ended, Peh'E Zain was recognized as a Lord of Demons, or a Ba'al, and was formally awarded Dominion over the lands that would come to be known as Nigenashur in recognition to his service to mortalkind. Ba'al Peh'E Zain rules over a significant amount of territory from his captial of Asherbullu, where he rules with a light touch and a sharp whip.
