Every unique demon is considered a lord, even beings like the Kerzit who don't rule any Abyssal territory.And yes, checking From the Ashes, Xazivort is unique."Foremost among the enemies of Pholtus’ priesthood is a powerful, unique tanar’ri, Xazivort, who has an enduring emnity for Pholtus after a number of run-ins with his priests over centuries. The fiend was finally imprisoned in a sealed dungeon below the Gnarley, but recently  it escaped when a foolhardy group of adventurers dispelled the spells binding it."Xazivort goes on to first possess a young ranger and then a fighter/cleric of Pholtus (not a paladin, as I had thought). It has enough power to create elaborate illusionary scenarios, summon alu-demons, and play with the PCs' minds, but is severely weakened by its battle of wills with the fighter/cleric at the end. Still, is array of spell-like abilities is pretty formidable, albeit only as a 14th level spellcaster.I'd consider it a minor lord, equivalent to a being like Aldinach or Ahazu (or the Kerzit), but not the ruler of a layer.</blockquote>
