Motivated by greed and lust and the experience of beauty.
Quite convincing when he cares to be.
Story:
How can a hundred thousand years be condensed into a single page? How do you choose between ten million events and encounters? How, when in the Abyss a second can seem as long as a decade and a millennium can go by unnoticed?
He was a gatherer of souls, always that above all else. Even in his long lost mortal life the hearts and minds of others were little but playthings for him. He lived, and died, always surrounded by friends and lovers, always alone. He lived, and died countless times, as a Dretch, a Quasit, a Babau, a Hezrou and a dozen other less common forms, fighing for aeons in the eternal wars of the lower planes before finally returning once more to the prime and finding his truer purpose yet again.
The form of the Incubus was new to him then, fifteen thousand years ago, and the extatic agony of his rebirth was still burning in his veins, when he arrived at the City of Alinandras at the heart of the Foranmar Empire on what is now a desolate backwater world on the Prime material plane. If not for the pleasure he felt in his new form and the freedom of this new world, surrounded by gullible prey, he would never have been so uncautious, he would never have fallen in love.
Zarangabay The Sword Maiden never stood a chance. He held her heart in the palm of his hand and his kiss was draining her soul away. And yet, she had fought so bravely, her spirit was so pure and her flesh so delightful beneath him. Her soul was strong, so full of life and power, and it tasted of summer. Killing her was a bitter thing, but he devoured her soul nevertheless. For she was the High Priestess of the Warrior Goddess and the Supreme General of the Empire's armies, and without her the Empire was helpless against its enemies. Without Him the Empire would be helpless against its enemies.
The war had not been going to well in any case, the legions of the Crab-People being well entrenched in the Tolothan Hills and along the River Twine. Even after three years the line had proved impenetrable and lighter incursions by teleporting strike-forces had been met with both a remarkably effective doctrine of counter-attack and unrestrained terror by their own teleporters on the Empire's soil. In the third year both sides had lost much of their mobile strength and their remaining wizards were no longer inclined to heroics. If not for the treacherous attack of the Elven Iljaijani Federation of Kingdoms on the Empire's southern flank the war would have been a stale-mate. As it was, it was an imminent disaster.
Without her greatest general The Empress' armies were helpless, demoralized and strung out along an indefensible outflanked front-line with only a reserve army of two thousand men standing between the main elven force of fifty thousand and the Capital. Desperately struggling to mobilize her country's last reserves of power the Empress was in no position to turn down an offer of help, even if she had wanted to.
He ruled the western world for thirteen years before the gods saw fit to throw him down. It was a plentiful harvest, but nothing compared with what was to come.
