Name: Baal
Alias: Lord Baal
Age: is actual age is unknown, but he has been around for over 4000 years.
Gender: male
Species: unknown, appears to be humanoid
Personality: Baal is the definition of evil to many, his insidious nature and pleasure in using his powers to bring insanity and chaos over the vast dimensions have made him feared by most. Before he became Lord Baal, he wasn't evil and had a woman he loved dearly, but it was her murder and the death of most of his people that drove to hate those that had robbed him of so much that drove him to make his deal with the godlike demons known as the Dark Ones who were beyond human comprehension. Ever since his pact with the Dark Ones he plunged into darkness and his evil is immense.
Baal is extremely cunning and will always try to find ways to manipulate others into doing what he wants. He is amazingly charismatic and persuasive, which is how he has been able to grow his cults on earth. His intelligence and ability to pray upon the human psyche makes him very formidable. Baal will show no mercy to his enemies and will delight in making them suffer as much as possible. He has forced mothers and fathers to watch their children die horribly as punishment for going against him. He has made children see their parents brutally murdered and try to turn them into cult members.
Some would wonder why such an evil being could exist, Baal would answer that love was to blame. It was because he loved so much that his hatred made him into what he was now. Baal demands obediance from his followers and will regularly use terror and public killings to demonstrate his power and authority. Baal prefers to use his cult members to do tasks for him if they aren't of great importance and there is only one being he truly fears and that's God. His biggest flaws in terms of a mental weakness is his superiority complex and large ego.
History: Baal was born millennia ago to a world very different from our own. It was a world of almost constant conflict and filled with brutality and savagery. His people whose name has slipped from history and memory were engaged in a massive war with the Ozarian empire. Baal grew up in the wake of this horrible conflict and saw many that were close to him die, but he still found love in a woman who called his sun and moon. Unfortunately for Baal she would be brutally murdered by Ozarian forces and made him watch before they tried to kill him.
He was however saved by the Dark Ones when they heard his primeval scream of hatred at seeing his beloved killed. The demons made everything around them freeze as if time itself had stopped and then offered Baal the chance to see revenge by making a pact with them in exchange for his soul and eternal devotion. Baal agreed without a second thought thanks to the huge well of hatred inside him, and the Dark Ones give him a piece of their awesome power. Baal felt their black magic flow through him and the power was almost overwhelming.
The demons then vanished and time seemed to revert back to normal. Baal immediately unleashed his new power and slaughtered all in his path. When the enemy forces were defeated, Baal saw that they had managed to kill all of his people and he was now the last of them. He soon had his vengeance and wiped out of the Ozarian empire. With his world a war torn wasteland, he sough to establish a new society, one that worshiped the Dark Ones. The demons soon returned to him and told of his quest to spread cults dedicated to them throughout all dimensions and Baal now consumed by his darkness fervently agreed to their task.
After attaining the power to traverse dimensions, Baal began to spread the cults of the Dark Ones to many different worlds. Some worlds were too faithful and righteous to conquer, but he was immortal and could wait for a time when they would become weak in faith. Eventually he came this world in the distant past and was worshiped as the god Baal, gaining many much reverence. His cults spread by a large amount, but then the emergence of Christianity saw his cults become obsolete in the wake of the new religion and he dared to not challenge God seeing his great power.
Baal decided that he would wait and come back to this dimension when Christianity was less powerful. He waited for thousands of years, but he has now returned. He played a role in influencing the formations of the hellfire clubs during the times of the founding fathers of America and he played a subtle role in the creation satanic cults. With the advent of the scientific age humanity has less faith in the Abrahamic religions and that has given Baal the power to start spreading his cults again. Every action has both a positive and negative reaction.
