As the One created his army for the upcoming battle with the Mother, he considered creating a general for his army. Weaving this being in the image of himself, he dubbed the being, Jorgyth, a demon lord of pure shadow and evil. Masterful if combat like no other, Jorgyth soon proved to be a worthy creation to the One.
As he ordered the soldiers of the One into many victorious battles, it seemed as if the armies of the Mother would soon perish. It was not until the Mother created Vaelarys, a powerful angel, who took command over the forces of the Light Plane. Soon battle after battle ended in defeat for Jorgyth and the One. Enraged, Jorgyth ordered one final assault, meeting the Vaelarys head on at the gates of Eden. A long battle ensued, in which the two fought one and one as well. With much of each army covering the ground in death, Jorgyth and Vaelarys continued their struggle against one another. Finally, outsmarted by the tactics of Vaelarys, Jorgyth fell to defeat allowing Vaelarys to smite him back to the Shadow Plane.
The One’s army left leaderless was quickly driven back into the Shadow Plane, and once again balance was restored to the planes. But deep in the Shadow Plane, Jorgyth still stirred. Being created in the image of the One, he was an immortal. Only his mortal shell could be slain, yet his own entity lived on, returning to the Shadow Plane to regain strength and reemerge again. So laid in wait, forming a plan to destroy Vaelarys and regain his former glory.
When he had the strength, Jorgyth reemerged from the Shadow Plane, in the shell of an angel. Upon entering Eden, he played himself as a loyal servant to powers of Light. At his first chance, he stood before Vaelarys and revealed his true identity. Growling a curse of shadows, he stole Vaelarys’ soul and returned to the One. But by this time, the One, and the Maker, had disappeared and had been nearly forgotten.
As centuries pass, Jorgyth begins to watch the mortal realm grow and unfold, and becomes intrigued by a lone human, Mishkal. He devises a plan to merge himself with this Mishkal in an attempt to gain control over the mortal realm. Mishkal grows extremely powerful with Jorgyth’s guidance but soon discovers that the demon lord’s plan was only to use him toward his own purpose. Jorgyth is cast from Mishkal and trapped in the Abyss. Little did Mishkal know that Jorgyth yet retained Mishkal’s knowledge of blood-based magics. Using this new knowledge, Jorgyth creates his son, Hrath. Born of flesh, but given the power to wield the energies of Shadow.
From the Abyss, Jorgyth and Hrath watch the events of Mishkal unfold, and vow to exact revenge upon Mishkal, and all mortals.
