Necromancer
Overcome with irrational hatred and jealousy of an opinion that technically shouldn't matter to you at all, you grab your sister's body and have dark plans for it. Even better, you're going to have your Dad see exactly what you're going to do. Two tortures in one.
You infuse her with a bit of unholy energy to keep her alive. As you're leaving one of your mortal necromancers approaches you in the middle of the chaos.
"Uh sir, we've taken over the city. The royal family was butchered in their own throne room."
"Huh? Yeah, yeah. Well you know what to do, recruit the weak willed, kill the resisters, and raise the dead. I got more important things to do."
You take your sister back to Aftermath and begin your work. You start to perform rituals and have your Dad watch every reprehensible act you do to your sister over the course of several weeks. She slowly goes from becoming a noble warrior to a malevolent murderer. She screams in pain from the vile assaults upon her mind and body. For the first time you think you've seen your Dad weep and display any kind of emotion. He even begs you to stop, which really make you smile.
When you're ready to represent the final act of your work, you approach your Dad who's a completely broken man at this point.
"See, and look upon your pride and joy now Dad. You were proud of her because she was everything she represented that you weren't right? She shook off the brutality and replaced it with nobility. She wasn't a self-serving mercenary; she was a duty bound fighter who believed in something. So much so that she was willing to try to kill me even though the odds were against her. She chose a path because it was what she BELIEVED in, not something she became due to falling under some spell like you did. Well guess what? I CHOSE my path too. And I've chose to turn your beloved daughter into you. Did you know she had the capacity for great evil already? Guess your genes are always there, no matter how much you try to deny them. I had to look deep, but I found that part of her. That darkest part of her hates, her violent tendencies, all of it. I nurtured and coaxed it out through well I think you saw most of the process. Now behold my greatest achievement since my ascension."
You sister comes from behind the door; she looks much different than from what your Dad remembers. No longer is she a force of good, but one of evil. Of course though you've made sure she's totally obedient to you. The tormented hell soul that inhabits her body is completely under your command. It causes her great pain, but then again so are you. Why should you be the only one who suffers?
She sneers at you as she walks towards your Dad. You can feel her hatred toward you, yet she knows she cannot do anything toward you. Instead she takes it out on your Dad who can only give a mournful look of what she's become before he's hacked to bits in a bloody fury.
Yes, she will certainly be a terror on the battlefield, you think.
Ten years pass
Twenty years have passed, and the world has tilted firmly into the grip of evil. Demons pour into this world more and more each day. The Grand Alliance is dead and the "civilized" governments of mortals have fallen to demonic hordes or your own undead ones. Pockets of resistance always exist, but they will soon fall in time as well.
With the success of your sister's transformation, you proceeded to pick other powerful mortals and unnaturally twist them to your will, turning them into something more than demon, more than undead and certainly more than human. They are much like you except they are completely obedient to your will. They hate you of course for their painful existence, but is it not the way of all children to want to kill their father?
Perhaps Hell has changed you, but you've made quite a few changes to Hell
Of more immediate concern is Velzix, who demanded years ago that you stop your experiments on mortals. He and most of the other pure blood demons already didn't like the fact you could raise their dead, but they REALLY didn't like how you were achieving something that they hadn't thought of, let alone even accomplish. Of sure a few can possess a body, or turn an idiot to evil, but how many can create a whole new "race" of beings who are rivaling them in wickedness yet subservient to their creator? Of course you told Velzix to fuck off and there begun a civil war.
Your undead, mortal servants and Hellbred warriors now control your territory known as the Forsaken Dominion. Velzix still calls his territory "Velzix's Realm" but it's primarily inhabited by demons now, though mortal slave do serve them under their clawed heels. Neither place is particularly appealing to any right and good thinking being though.
Tivadol the Destroyer was the first fool to directly challenge you. He decided that if he could get you out of the way, he could prove that he was the ultimate warrior and easily take Velzix's place. He soon found out how poor his judgment was, when your sister personally slew him on the battlefield and his now undead shell serves her every whim and take her every abuse. Sinthinia broke off her so called alliance with you, and somehow managed to ingratiate herself back in Velzix's good graces. Perhaps your actions really have put the fear into them. Indeed there is less infighting occurring in Velzix's Realm nowadays.
This new unified front the demons have put up is the only thing that's really giving you problems as of late. Get them to start fighting amongst themselves again and you'll be able to roll over them.
You were here first. You're going to rule this world, nobody else.
You get an idea. You know the demons hate your new Hellbred creations yet you're pretty sure Velzix wouldn't mind having some on his side. He's merely using this new found unity to his advantage, just like he'd use your creations to his advantage as well.
You decide to stage a small revolt, though you're not telling anyone about it. Only you'll know the truth. You figure your sister would be the best one to start with since it's well known how much she loathes you even amongst the enemy.
The first revolt in the Dominion is set off by your sister. She slays several of your mortal servants, some of them even necromancers. Undead die by the droves. You could care less. This is for a greater goal and after all, you'll just raise them again later. The second revolt occurs next and then another. By the end of the month several of your Hellbred warriors have rebelled and some have even acquired small contingencies of mortal followers.
All of this grabs Velzix's attention. He moves in to take your weakened areas, but he also sends feelers out to these rebel Hellbreds. Since this was supposed to be impossible he's very interested to see if he can use them against you
Excellent the first part of the plan is set.
He has Sinthinia approach them, as he's still too smart to directly face them. The cowardly demon lord hasn't left his magically fortified inner chamber in years. Of course Sinthinia has her own personal guards approach them first since she's not risking her life either. Of course the Hellbreds act appropriately hostile and suspicious, but mention how much they hate being used as your pawns and how arrogant you were to think that you could control them just because you created them. They want nothing more than your death.
That response is enough for Velzix to start offering them positions in his armies. They accept of course. At first they're just kept to their own units, but after Velzix wins some territory from you (More than he has in years) he realizes their efficiently would be better spread out to maximize there fighting skills and strategic minds. He begins to have them lead demon contingencies.
This doesn't go over well.
Part two of the plan has come about.
Soon the demons begin to resent Velzix's decision. Saying that he's favoring these Hellbreds over them. Velzix tell them he'll do what he wants as he's the leader and what he says goes. Sinthinia doesn't like this either and mentions that he's stirring trouble by pursuing this course of action and she doesn't like the fact that she can't sense what they're thinking or feeling like a normal (or not so normal) living creature, but Velzix insists he's doing the right thing since he's winning the war against you now.
It doesn't take long before the demons revert back to their chaotic natures and start getting disobedient with their new Hellbred "companions". Now you have your Hellbred stop holding back and lash out which they do in violent ways. This of course causes the death of several Hellbreds, but these acts cause a greater spiral of destruction.
Demons begin fighting among themselves again, arguing that Velzix doesn't know what the fuck he's doing and isn't worth following since he trusted these creatures to lead. Velzix has REAL rebellions going on all over his Realm. Portions of it begin to split away from the whole and several demons begin forming their own warlord domains. Domains that you easily conquer as you bring your full unified force to bear. Eventually Velzix's reputation isn't strong enough anymore and he can't bring enough reinforcements anymore to help, as the knowledge of his failures have spread even to the infernal planes. In fact he has to close up his portal just so other opportunistic demon lords don't come around to finish him off, he's having enough problems with you. You get the impression that Sinthinia had something to do with that as she disappeared soon after this elaborate deception came about. (Possibly her "parting shot" at Velzix who she never had any true loyalty to anyway and fled back to the infernal plane to save her own skin)
Now the endgame begins
Your sister storms Velzix's fortress with an army larger than the one used to storm the Zalan capitol ten years ago. You never even have to dirty your hands, and you heard he was slain with ease by your sister. When she presents his head to you, you do something you haven't done in a long time. Grant act of mercy.
"You've served me well dear sister, let this be your final reward."
You snuff out the tormented spirit inhabiting your sister which releases her from her painful servitude and allows her to die.
Now nothing stands in your way, Velzix's hasty actions of closing the portal have made things even easier for you. No longer do you have to deal with these interloping demons any longer. You've suffered their kind long enough. Even from the very beginning when Big Red gave you shit when you tried to buy a book on necromancy from him, how long ago that was...
You vow to have every last one of them killed.
You infuse her with a bit of unholy energy to keep her alive. As you're leaving one of your mortal necromancers approaches you in the middle of the chaos.
