King Renivalfigor

King Renivalfigor, also known as the Blood King, was a cruel tiefling warlord during the Fifth Eon. Immediately after assuming the throne of Z'Khesh in 1544 BBW, Renivalfigor met with the archdevil Bel to secure immortality and immense power for himself. Bel gladly obliged, granting the young king a blade and shield that allowed him to command unspeakable magic - so as long as he never stopped killing.

Raising a great army of devilspawn from Bel's own ranks, Renivalfigor initiated what would later be known as the Conquest of Blood. Throughout these 17 years, his black banner slowly fell across Vorith. Hundreds of thousands were killed and any country that opposed him was crushed beneath his heel, earning him the epithet of Blood King. It wasn't until 1527 BBW that the Twin Empires slayed him upon the Plains of Everlasting Mist and put an end to his reign of terror.

However, the distorted halves of his soul survived death and fled to his indestructible blade and shield. Knowing that Renivalfigor could return, the leaders of the Twin Empires sealed the cursed armaments inside of "tombs" on opposite ends of the continent, but the Bright War and the destruction that followed caused their locations to be lost. The sword and shield later ended up in the hands of a tiefling boy named Roach, who became the heir of the Blood King, now free from the yoke of Bel.
