Belephgor

Belephgor is one of the accursed fiends. Beleph was the son of an elvish Nuavaryan bishop. The slothful son so neglected his duties that the bishop threatened to excommunicate him.

Beleph, in his laziness, prayed to Shoth for but one wish: power. Shoth. amused by the whole situation, answered his prayer, but not without conditions. He commanded Beleph to kill the bishop. Beleph did so with poison.

In response Shoth disguised himself as a high priest, and ordered that Belephgor be punished. He had him wrapped in dirty rags and chained to a rock in far away cave by the priests of the order.

Shoth informed Beleph that he could never die, and told him that by the time he could escape his confinement, he would have the power he desired. Beleph spent 600 years chained to that rock, in a stew of his own waste, as rats chewed away at his ever regenerating flesh.

The escaped and maddened Belephgor now wanders the lands, spreading apathy, slothfulness and despair.
