Baal and his older brother Samael were born to the Mother of creation, She gifted her children nigh-omnipotence and nigh-omniscience and gave them the world of Enoria to look over. As the result of a different point of view, Samael and Baal constantly bickered to a point where they declared war on one another. Samael became ruler of the Firmament, while Baal became master of the lowers depths.
Baal was always ambitious and power-hungry. He desired complete dominance over Enoria, and saw his brother Samael as a hindrance to his plans. Baal poured all his energy into building his army of demons, using his power to create the most powerful and fearsome beings to aid him in his quest for power. As the war between the two brothers raged on, Baal became more and more corrupt. He saw humans as nothing more than tools to be used and discarded, and had no qualms about sacrificing them to further his goals.
Baal's reign of terror over Enoria was marked by cruelty and bloodshed. The demons he had created were loyal to him, but they also feared him, as Baal was quick to punish any signs of disobedience. Under his rule, Hell became a place of eternal torment and suffering, where the souls of the damned were forever trapped. Baal reveled in the chaos and destruction he had wrought, and showed no remorse for the countless lives he had destroyed in his pursuit of power.
