You nearly laugh at the idea that you have any "allies". A more appropriate designation would be "The folks who are currently on your side because it's advantageous at the moment". Velzix doesn't trust any of them either despite the fact that they all knew and worked with each other in the infernal plane. (Actually he doesn't trust any them BECAUSE of the fact that they all knew and worked with each other!) Given that fact, you probably shouldn't either.

Oddly, you don't worry about your enemies as much as you do your allies, mainly because at least you know where you stand with them!

You tivadol and Sesisek

Tivadol is a typical "rank and file" demon. Brutal, violent, sadistic, full of hate, and wants everything his way and decides the best way of getting it is to smash somebody over the head and take it. The only thing that makes him slightly different is he's a bit more intelligent and has a burning desire to be in charge of everything. This is what makes him a good general.

It's also what makes him a threat to Velzix. Tivadol barely contains the fact that he wants to take over Velzix's position one day. This attitude is probably why he's put on the frontlines and leading the most dangerous attacks. If he wins Velzix gains more territory, if he dies, then that's good too!

Tivadol knows this of course and decided that he shall gain more respect in displaying that he's a battlefield general rather than an armchair one. Then when the time is right, he'll take Velzix's throne by storm. A simple and short sighted plan. One that will probably not come to pass as Velzix is too intelligent to be overthrown by a straightforward coup. Tivadol might be successful if he employed a little subterfuge, but he doesn't have the patience for it. This is another reason why Tivadol wants Sinthinia on his side (Besides her obvious physical qualities of course) since she could take care of such things. So far he's been unsuccessful in convincing her.

He doesn't respect Sesisek (Considers him to be a fool who allowed himself to lose his status and never liked him to begin with) and respects you even less. As you are a mortal, he doesn't even know why Velzix deals with you and sees this as a weakness in him. The fact that you have great power of the dead doesn't impress him. He just sees you as another weak mortal that will have to be crushed when he takes power sooner or later.

And if he gets his way, sooner.


Sesisek is a very very bitter demon. He's been assigned a position that he doesn't want, he's not liked and barely respected. And worse he can't do too much about it right now.

At one time he was Velzix's left hand demon. (Right hand would be inappropriate here) He had spies everywhere and dealt in secrets, blackmail and assassination. He made sure he didn't have to answer to anyone except Velzix, and if things had gone as planned he wouldn't have had to answer to him for too much longer either.

However a succubus called Sinthinia came along and fucked up everything for him. All his plotting, planning, and doubling dealings all came to be meaningless thanks to her actions. He had no more clout after what happened, and to add further insult Velzix allowed him to live and do menial humiliating jobs. However, Sesisek's time in the infernal plane most likely still would've been a short one as other demons would've taken revenge for his past dealings; the only thing that saved him was the Dark Order summoning to your world. As a result he was given a slight reprieve and he's even gained some of his status back since Velzix does know him to be competent and the fact that Velzix needs all the help he can get right now to get a strong foothold on your world.

He's been given a military position to keep him out of the way and preoccupied (Much like Tivadol) but due to his brethren's intense lack of respect of him, he's only leading mortal troops. He can't stand mortals and could care less if they die by the thousands, he dislikes being a military leader, (He preferred the subtle approach to power) and on top of all this his mind is constantly plagued by thoughts of revenge. All of this means his success on the battlefield is mediocre at best. He does a good enough job to make it appear like he's still useful.

He hates Sinthinia for betraying him, but even more for the fact that she was so successful at it. He hates Velzix for continuing to humiliate him. He finds Tivadol to be an idiotic brute who doesn't know shit about real power. As for you, he doesn't particularly care about you at all, except he doesn't find you to be a threat since you're a mortal. He recognizes you do have some power about you and along with being on direct speaking terms with Velzix, you speak to Sinthinia on occasion as well. He probably figures that maybe he can use you in some sort of mad plan for revenge.

It's all that drives him at point.
