Malkor

A lawful guardian, this immensely powerful and millenia old pitfiend commands thousands of devils and undead minions to protect a grand keep in the far reaches of the east which is, in actuallity, a gateway to Hell itself. Though Malkor is in fact a devil and naturally brutally evil, he is lawful and reasonable and thus protects the gate so that it may never be opened. If it were then the spirits of the damned would flood into Ithos causing untold apocalyptic chaos. Malkor has very few friends. Among them are his lieutennant Vame and his rival Kozmos. He is a very independent individual and always refuses help to the point that he would be grossly insulted if it was offered. Despite this, he feels inextricably bound to repay a favor as best he can. In his spare time, which he has plenty of, he enjoys reading and studying ancient history and arcane lore. He is particularly fascinated by interplanar travel, ancient and primitive forms of magic, and historical wars. He cares very little for current political affairs and culture though he does take a small fascination in emerging technology. He very rarely leaves his keep and isn't really involved in any guilds or clans. His sole purpose is to guard the keep and nothing else matters.
