Malphas was not, by any account, a patient or reasonable devil. And he did not have to be. He was the Great Ambassador of Hell, with forty legions of lesser demons at his command...or at least he used to be.
As the demon looked on to the sunset, he sighed. Lucifer had been making changes in Hell lately that upset a lot of its residents. With the situation the way it was, Malphas had decided to move at least himself and part of his family out of Hell into a different Plane until things cooled over.

While on the Earthly Plane, Malphas decided to do something he had not done in several centuries: he let one of his offspring grow into a full-fledged demon. He usually let his own just be crows who will mindlessly follow his command even to death; but the change of air made him let one be different on a whim.

The one who got lucky enough to develop as an individual was Xaverius.
