HISTORY.

Astaroth and his twin sister Astarte were devout in their love of the Almighty. Like the legions of angels around them, they obeyed without question. It wasn’t until the war started with Lucifer that they were able to feel or even convey the betrayal they felt when the humans were created. These small, mortal creatures were given the ability to make their own decisions. Free will, they called it. Because of that, they were adored by the Creator.

In the war, Astarte took a smiting blow that was meant to kill Astaroth. For his sister’s love and sacrifice, he caught her essence before it dissipated back into the ether and shoved it into the form of a giant white snake. They’d been together since their creation and Astaroth couldn’t imagine the rest of eternity without his other half.

Together they fell, deep into the darkest depth the underworld had to offer. With Astarte decorating his neck, Astaroth took control of forty legions of the demonic army. He rose, by Baal’s good graces, to be a Duke of Hell. With that power, he stepped on to the mortal plane. At first, it was to get a better look at the creatures he’d lost so much for. Then, it was for the enjoyment of corrupting their unusually fragile constitutions. To him, humans have no loyalty. They have no self control. Being easily manipulated makes them disgusting in his eyes.

Over the years he gained the nickname *Prince of Sloth* for his preference of filling his victims with self doubt. He can’t admit that he tries doing unto others what has been done to him. The shift in God’s favor caused him to question everything about his creation and he loves the look in a mortal’s eyes when they start to feel the same.

Vipera Albus is a dummy corporation Astaroth established early on and has existed in some form or another over the millenia. It is the shadow that covers everything he touches. One of his most recent ventures is the marketing firm known as Five Points.
