The Dark Prince, a demon lord equal to Demogorgon and Orcus
-
One of the most powerful demons in all the Abyss, Graz’zt is lord of three layers of that plane. He is a tall, darkly handsome demon with shiny black skin and green, glowing eyes. Graz’zt dresses in regal finery, but his slightly pointed ears and yellow fangs mark him for the demon he is. Most striking of all are his digits: He has six ebony fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.
Tales are told among common folk that a dark-skinned fiend sometimes visits witches and sorcerers, granting them both sexual favors and magical powers. Graz’zt is the truth of that legend. A deeply sexual, erotic being, the Dark Prince never goes anywhere without a retinue of female monsters - usually lamias, succubi, or mariliths. He is dangerously charming and seductive, and he speaks with such eloquence and grandeur that one might think him a devil, not a demon.
Graz’zt has long been in a state of war with both Demogorgon and Orcus. At one point he had the upper hand in this conflict, but he was suddenly summoned to the Material Plane by an unknown mad archmage. There, he was imprisoned and subjugated until he was able to win his freedom at the cost of being imprisoned on his own plane for a time. No one knows if he is still under the restriction or not - and he is certainly not telling.
Whilst so imprisoned, Graz'zat conspired with Demogorgon in the toppling of Orcus and the selling of the latter prince to the forces of the Hells. His restrictions seemed not to prevent him conquering Orcus' plane of Thanatos and adding it to his own realms. Only recently has the Prince of the Undead reclaimed his realm.
Graz’zt’s symbol is a black, six-fingered hand.
