Fiendish familiars who lead their masters to ruin may be rewarded by the dark powers of the Abyss, freed from their puny forms in blashpemous ritues to emerge as hulking hezrou. Armed with black magic learned at the feet of its former master, the hezrou is quick to accept its duty as a sergeant keeping the demonic rabble in line. The Blood War is good practice, but the hezrou’s true desire is to slake its hatred for the mortals it once served. Its consuming hatred manifests as a variety of supernatural plagues which the hezrou can invoke against its enemies. Thrice a century, the hezrou undertakes the “dark walk” returning to Material Plane, though now the tables are turned and it is no helpless familiar. During the “dark walk”, the hezrou offers its services to a desperate hateful mortal in exchange for the mortal’s eternal service as a manes in Abyss. Invariably, its service involves raining down plagues that spiral out of control. Plagues unleashed by the hezrou have been known to devastate mortal kingdoms and devil camps alike.</blockquote>
