Maloron

"'He was the king of The Abyss back when they had standards. And that was before he was cursed.' - Griffith about Maloron"Maloron is the former king of the abyss, and a demon that rampaged the world.

Appearance
Maloron is a giant demon, who grows after each life that is taken in his presence. He has powerful horns, dark red hair, crimson skin and amber eyes.

Early Life
Maloron always had a taste for destruction. He rose through the ranks of the abyss and eventually ended up ruling it. He wanted his son, Griffith, to take his place, but he always refused and eventually went missing.

Maloron followed Griffith to the material plane, hoping to remove the weakness from his family, when a powerful witch offered him a gift that would make him the most powerful demon in history. Maloron gladly accepted, and was cursed from that moment on. The gift increased his size and strength every time someone died near him.

For the next century, he rampaged through the land, but was eventually stopped by an elf with an enchanted sealing sword. The sword was then sealed within Mount Unity, and lost to history.

Dead War
Eventually, a group of adventurers found the sword, and Maloron was able to influence the one who first touched the sword, making him do his bidding and bring him back to full strength. Unfortunately, his companions saw through the plan and eventually freed him from the sword. Thinking he would return at his full size, being trapped in the blade caused the curse to reset, and he was back to his normal size again. The group managed to kill him.

Two years later, a group found the ashes and were trying to permanently seal his soul so that he couldn't be revived. Luckily for him, his faithful servant disguised himself as the elf who sealed them and fooled the adventurers who killed him into stopping the ritual, freeing him in the process. As he rose, he saw that Griffith was with them. Finally, after all these years, he finally destroyed the last bit of weakness in his family. One of the other adventurers managed to claw out his eyes, but Maloron impaled him. Unfortunately, this allowed the others to escape, and they sealed him in the cave for a time.

Not long after, he was able to escape and quickly made way to the largest source of holy power in the area, Amaranthia. While attacking the city, which had been warded, a large group of undead started attacking him. Sadly, killing the undead wouldn't increase his power, and he was eventually overrun and killed. One of the killers, Dante, brought him back as an undead thrall, albeit at his normal size.
