His touch causes withering, his bite causes mummy rot, and his presence destroys potions. He is accompanied by mummies that are immune to natural fire.Some cultures worship this demon as a fire gawd. He has been building his power base on the Lower Planes for some time. He seeks to create an alliance to topple Asmodeus, as he is jealous of the devil's power and influence. So far his suggestions have been met with mixed reactions.He was once allied with Skullsplitter (AKA Demogorgon the Demon Prince Gawd of Agony) and the two still have nonviolent if uneasy relationship.His temples are a tempting target for thieves as they are always filled with precious relics, gems, and tribute paid in all types of coin. These temples bring in a steady flow of sacrifices and he continues to grant his followers powers, especially over mummies.I'd see him as depressing buddhism, all is suffering and inevitable decay that leads to waste and ruin. Fire consumes, nothing is permanent. No transcendent path to enlightenment. Only power from sacrifice and ruin.</blockquote>
