Paimon Paimon Was Once One of the Most Loyal Generals of Asmodeus, and May Still Be Such If He Is to Be Believed

10/18/2018 The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit Paimon Paimon was once one of the most loyal generals of Asmodeus, and may still be such if he is to be believed. He was among the first of the fallen angels, and his razor sharp intelligence and legions of loyal servants served him well in the cut throat politics of Hell. He served his dark lord in Nessus, advising him on the nature of the multiverse. However, he is now trapped on a material plane cut off from the Outer Planes, totally unable to contact his lord. It is anyone's guess whether or not this was his plan all along. The Roaring King. Paimon is a being of exquisite contradictions. Though he possesses the fair head and torso of a beautiful elven prince, it is connected to the uncouth and gangly body of a camel. Though his face bears a placid expression of tranquility, he can fly into a rage at a moment's notice, unleashing ear shattering roars that break the minds of those that hear them. Unlike many devils, who favor arcane power, Paimon has developed his psionic skills to a mastery unseen anywhere else on the Lower Planes. Lord of the Lost. Ages ago, Paimon was summoned to a material plane shortly before the plane itself was subjected an arcane cataclysm of unprecedented power, a cataclysm so immense that it razed the soil of the planet and seared away its connection to the realms of both gods and devils. Whether Paimon foresaw this cataclysm or not, it is clear that he has embraced his newfound freedom from the rule of Asmodeus, setting himself up as the tyrannical messiah of the many disaffected and scattered tribes of elves that roam this ruined world. He even wields the last remaining moonblade of that planet as a symbol of his authority The Crown. While he still resided on the Nine Hells, Paimon crafted his crown as both a sign of his office and as a means to enhance his already formidable psionic powers. Since his exile on this distant planet, he has also learned to bind the souls of those mortals who pledge their loyalty to him to his crown, forcing them to serve him even in death. He occasionally allows his crown to travel beyond his grasp, guiding whosoever discovers the crown from afar to further his own dark agenda.
