I will explore the pre-demon life of xinj at another time if there is any interest. This will discuss the character's life after becoming a demon.
Xinj was sent to hell upon his death in the mortal realm. Hell being a place where mortal evil was rewarded he was made a low ranking officer and posted in the middle ring of the seventh circle of hell where he was given the task of punishing those who had comitted suicide. In Hell those who were not virtuous enough to get to Heaven were forced to serve time in torment ridding themselves of their remaining goodness so they could be harnessed for filling the ranks of the armies of hell. Those who were evil enough in their lives were able to bypass the torment stage and be given middle management positions in hell.
Being efficient in his tasks he was eventually promoted and moved into a Special Operations division where he was required to corrupt and coerce angels into switching their allegience and joining the ranks of hell. Xinj and his fellow agents of darkness managed to cause hundreds of angels to defect before the Holy forces caught wind of the situation.
In response the Holy forces attempted to storm the Gates of Hell in what became known as the Battle of the Fallen Angels. For the Holy forces it was well known that a direct assault on Hell was a suicide mission. However they viewed the battle as a symbol for their unwavering belief in good. The armies of Hell lost very few of its own troops as the Holy forces focused much of their attack on destroying the Fallen Angels who had betrayed them. The Holy forces were eventually forced to retreat after suffering very heavy casualties, but they viewed it as a small victory as only a few dozen Fallen Angels were left in the Armies of Hell after the battle. The battleground looked like it was covered in snow from all of the feathers that had been scattered in the fighting.
Xinj's Special Operations division was decomissioned and he was again promoted and reassigned. Now he was given command a small army and sent to the realm of Lords. It is believed that he is there to kill whatever he comes across to further fill the ranks of the armies of Hell with all the dead he leaves in his wake. However he has been spotted working with other armies, including those of mortals. So there seems to be some ulterior motives in play. Could Hell be scouting the realm of Lords with a mind for invading it one day? Are there reasons why Hell would benefit from the survival of the realm of Lords that would cause them to join in its defence? Perhaps only time will tell. |
