Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Demon Lord (恶魔大君) |
| Species/Race | Demon 255 |
| Affiliation | The Abyss; individual lords rule separate layers 650 710 |
| Occupation/Role | Abyssal ruler and commander of demons 699 710 |
Nature and Authority
- Demon Lords are distinct from the devils of the Nine Hells. Demons and devils stand on opposing sides of the Blood War and are divided by chaos and order 255.
- A Demon Lord's power is greatest in the Abyss. Demogorgon is considered comparable to a minor deity there, while Zhao Xu describes Demon Lords as close to deities but not true deities 86 702.
- Their authority is territorial rather than unified: the Abyss has many competing lords, and their internal conflicts prevent them from acting as a single force 482 710.
- The Lord of the Abyss is a separate, higher title. The Bottomless Realm says it awaits that lord's return, not a Demon Lord's victory in a contest for the position 706.
Known Demon Lords
| Demon Lord | Domain | Documented role |
|---|---|---|
| Graz'zt | Layers 45–47, the Triple Kingdom 650 710 | Poses as a devil while manipulating Frang; later tells Zhao Xu of his ambition to rule the Abyss 255 491. |
| Demogorgon | Layer 88, the Saltwater Swamp 656 710 | Has followers on Arthur's Material Plane; an envoy approaches Zhao Xu with an offer made in Demogorgon's name 86 656. |
| Okus | Layer 113, Thantos 710 | Pursues Zhao Xu after he kills two Balors and later identifies himself while probing the portal through which Zhao Xu escaped 702 704. |
| Lolth | The Spider's Pits, layer 66 650 | Rules an Abyssal layer and discovers Zhao Xu observing her domain 716. |
Abilities & Influence
Abyssal Power
- Graz'zt projects his will into Arthur through a magic mirror, seals the surrounding space against teleportation, and prepares an attack on Zhao Xu 255.
- His power there depends on a carrier and an Abyssal supply. Zhao Xu's Anti-magic Field suppresses the mirror and cuts off that supply 255.
- On their home ground, Demon Lords pose a far greater threat: Zhao Xu recognizes that his earlier encounters with Graz'zt and Demogorgon on Arthur had given him a misleading impression of their reach 703.
Command of Demons
- Balors serve as generals and lieutenants to Demon Lords, ruling demon armies and spreading terror 699.
- Abyssal lords can use power granted by the Abyss to promote Tanar'ri demons through their evolutionary branches 715.
- Lesser demons submit to a lord's Abyssal authority; Zhao Xu later finds that even residual Abyssal power from him can compel a Demon Spider to submit 715.
Story Role
- Graz'zt and Frang: Zhao Xu identifies the apparent devil confronting the nine-ring Mage Frang as Graz'zt. Graz'zt tries to manipulate Frang, but Zhao Xu suppresses the mirror carrying the Demon Lord's power 255.
- Graz'zt's ambition: Graz'zt tells Zhao Xu that a prophecy associated with Ernest has frustrated his effort to become Lord of the Abyss. The prophecy foretells an ancient being's return and a new blood war 491.
- Okus's pursuit: After Zhao Xu kills two Balors in the Abyss, a Demon Lord pursues him, questions his identity, and accepts his wager that he can cast Anti-magic Field without a scroll or magic item. The pursuer later calls himself Okus 702 704.
- The Abyss's true master: The Bottomless Realm distinguishes its awaited Lord of the Abyss from the Demon Lords already ruling individual layers. Zhao Xu subsequently learns of his own connection to that title 706 707.
