OOC Note: I've done this one differently than the usual diety style, as the character below is not a true diety. The style that this was done in has similar features to that found in the Fiendish Codex 1: Hordes of the Abyss.
Thraxxis-Urbazon The Prince of Anarchy Symbol: A crown being crushed by a demonic fist Alignment: Chaotic Evil Concerns: Destruction of society, rebellion, mad generals Domains: Chaos, Evil, Demonic, Destruction Favored Weapon: "Death of Kings" (Alchemical Silver Greataxe) Layer Ruled: 15, The Pyre of Conflagration Race: Tanar'ri
Thraxxis-Urbazon (Thrak-sis-Er-baz-on) is the demon prince worshipped by anarchists, rebels, and others who seek to bring ruin and destruction upon society. He appears as black-skinned, scaly, gargoyle-esque demon with clawed hands and feet, sharp spikes protruding from his body and a head like that of a goat. On his left arm, he wears armor that ends in silver claws over his fingers.
Cultists of Thraxxis, like other demon cults, operate in secrecy, away from the prying eyes of civilization. They often infiltrate into political positions for the greater purpose of bringing a particular nation to destruction. However, most of Thraxxis' cultists are psychotic and homicidal. More likely go on a killing spree than to undertake plans of such complexity. However, the ones that do, are truly something to be feared, because not only are they disciplined enough to reign in their urges, they are powerful enough to survive the other cultists and intelligent enough to work ruinous plots. A thrall of Thraxxis' worst enemies don't necessarily include the lawful authorities of a city, or the Disciples of various Devil-worshipping cults, but each other, as well as thralls of other demon lords. Worshippers of Thraxxis pretty much hate everything. Unlike most other demon lords, his followers include humans and demi-humans just as much as they include the more uncivilized races such as lizardfolk and goblinoids.
Clerics in service to Thraxxis pray for spells at night. Due to the chaotic nature of the Abyss, and those that reside in it, clerics of Thraxxis can multiclass in anything that does not conflict with their beliefs. The high-priests of Thraxxis would likely have levels in a Thrall class.
Servants, Enemies, History, and Goals:[/b] Thraxxis first rose to the rank of demon prince during the Upheaval. When the Tanar'ri had overthrown their Obyrith masters and forced the Queen of Chaos into hiding. Since then, he had turned his attentions to destroying all forms of order in the multiverse. As a result of his lust for disorder, he has become an active participant in the eternal Blood War. The battles he has waged against the Baatzu have become legend, even in the lower planes. While not necessarily because of his tactical mind, or the discipline of the demon's under him (As the any denizen of the Abyss cannot have such things), but for the ferocity that he and his armies show. It is not known if the Abyss itself has granted him such powerful armies, or if he is making them himself, but the result is the same, either way. Even to the point that he could easily oust various other demon princes, and claim more territory in the Abyss for himself if his singular dedication to the destruction of all order wasn't so intense.
Due to Thraxxis' general lack of concern with other demon princes, he does not have a habit of making enemies with others of his kind. However, he does always have to watch himself to prevent his own minions from trying to overthrow him, like others of his kind. His chief servants and enforcers are a klurichir named "Ibzn", and a molydeus named, "Deathless". Deathless is in charge of finding conscripts and enforcing Thraxxis' rule in the Pyre, while Ibzn is the general of Thraxxis' armies.

Malius Demon Prince of Forced Submission Symbol: A nine-thonged whip, dripping with blood, and studded with razors Alignment: Chaotic Evil Concerns: Slavery, brainwashing, mental domination Domains: Chaos, Demonic, Evil, Temptation, Trickery Favored Weapon: unarmed. His cultists, however, use a barbed, or razor-lined whips to imitate their master's tentacles Layer Ruled: 556 The Razor Pit Race: Obyrith
Malius (Mah-lee-us) is the demon prince worshipped by the worst of society. Rapists, sadists, and slavers typically pay him homage. He appears as a tentacled creature made of ruined flesh and hundreds of thousands of razors. It is believed amongst those who have knowledge of such things, that to so much as look upon him causes madness and endless nightmares and that his strike leaves gaping, infected wounds that bleed out in a matter of minutes.
While he hasn't established a cult until recently, it was a known fact that, considering his close relationship with Apollyon, the Ilmnfeml used mind control and torture techniques that had been invented by Malius. Most recently, his cultists include pirates that embrace slavery and canabalism, city-dwellers that seek to dominate others through force, and kidnappers, among others, as well as wayward members of the Ilmnfeml, but these have been leaving their cult in favor of a recently risen demigod. The most common method of getting worshippers is to kidnap little girls and young women, then subject them to various painful and degrading brainwashing methods. When their victims are fully brainwashed and initiated, they are then sent out to seduce wayward young men (And sometimes other women) into the cult. Despite this montrous practice, the most frightening of all is their abilities to bind an unwilling soul to their lord's Abyssal realm. Though this is commonly done to sacrifices, it is also commonly done to those they determine to be powerful, who are then set loose to bring havoc. By completing the dread ritual of soul binding, the unfortunate victim that lives is eventually driven completely insane. This makes them extremely violent and unpredictable. This was a common practice amongst the Ilmnfeml as well.
Servants, Enemies, History, and Goals:[/b] Among the Demons of the Abyss, Malius was strange in that he had a formal alliance with a diety. Apollyon was the prince of The Razor Pit before his ascension to godhood. During that time, Malius, was Apollyon's chief general. When Apollyon ascended, he could no longer focus on affairs in The Razor Pit, so while he ascended, so did Malius. Malius himself is one of the oldest of his kind. By allying himself with at that time, the Tanar'ri Prince Apollyon, he was saved from the fate of most of his race during the Upheaval. However, like all of his kind, he had his own ambitions and lusts for power. Not satisfied with being merely a general under Apollyon, he had plotted to oust him. He was able to do this during the Ilmnfeml Conflict. However, the methods of his betrayal are not known.
The realm that Malius rules is just as frightening as the demon prince himself. It is a barren, inhospitable place, lit with crimson light and bristling with hundreds of millions of small blades and razors. Rivers of blood and acid are common here. There is not a single place that one can walk without getting sliced to ribbons. Combine that with the fact that the landscape is dotted with various races of victims, all crucified and flayed, to add to the horror of this plane. Most notable of its sites is the phenomenon that gives this realm it's name. A gigantic, rotating, bloody pit, filled with blades of all kinds, that slowly grows larger with each passing day, engulfing all in it's path. Anything that falls into this pit is slowly grinded and minced, but due to the magics in that pit, they never die.
As a result of their layer, Malius's minions are gifted with exceptional resilience. Only the most powerful of weapons are even known to hurt them. Fortunately, however, they are more concerned with fighting their own kind than they are of meddling with the affairs of mortals. Malius's chief servant is a Sibriex simply named, "The Mangler". This servant of Malius is in charge of manipulating the raw chaos of his plane and creating new and more frightening demon forms, as well as altering Malius's existing servants.
