In an age long past, in a world removed from our own, the demon now known<br>
as Volgathras lived as a warrior and favorite of the king he served. <br>
Legions were gifted to him, to command as he desired in the pursuit of<br>
wealth, women, and land.
But those corporeal things held no interest for him. The need to lose<br>
himself in the chaos of battle spurned his greed. So consumed was he with<br>
blood-lust that even his own troops were forfeit. Often he would steal in to<br>
an officer's tent, ending them with an enemy's blade. Then, he would revel<br>
in the bedlam.
It did not take long for the Vassal Lord of that world, Ghalgothal, to take<br>
notice. The fiery Balor snatched him away in to the rift, where<br>
unimaginable torments twisted Volgathras sanity. His fractured mind fed on<br>
the bliss of anarchy, wanting more. Always wanting more.
Volgathras served as Ghalgothal's minion for an eon. The young demon did<br>
his time, awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike, when his master was<br>
weakest. This opportunity came in the form of a lost treasure, the blade of<br>
tempered chaos. It was a weapon made for the sole purpose of spreading<br>
disorder. And there was no better way to cause disorder than regime change.
The sentient blade bound itself to Volgathras, finding in the demon a vessel<br>
worthy of it's power. When the Balor returned to it's home in the rift, he<br>
was waiting. A single stroke, and Ghalgothal was slain.
Volgathras chose for his spoils the very essence of the Balor. He consumed<br>
the souls that composed him. But that was not enough. More was always<br>
needed. Thus did Volgathras move through the rift, challenging and<br>
devouring the most powerful demons he encountered.
Once Malchaeius abandoned Aabahran to it's fate, Volgathras watched from the<br>
fiery abyss. He waited as Molokhan took power, waited as the new Demon Lord<br>
revealed himself. And then he struck, cutting Molokhan down with his cursed<br>
blade. As his latest victim collapsed in to the folds of the Rift,<br>
Volgathras took his place upon the throne of chaos.
