Molag Bal

==Summary==
Molag Bal, known by numerous names across the entirety of Tamriel, is the Daedric Prince who rules over the realm of Coldharbour, whose sphere encompasses the domination and enslavement of mortals, and the father of vampires.
Amidst the morally complex Daedra, who simply due to their nature are difficult to classify, Molag Bal is one of the few who could be categorized as truly evil. The Prince derives pleasure from absolute torment and suffering of those below him, and most of his schemes involved the acquiring of more of Nirn. One such scheme was the Planemeld of 2E 582, an event in which the Prince attempted to drag Nirn into Oblivion through the use of Daedric machinery called Dark Anchors. He was ultimately stopped by the Five Companions and the power of the Vestige wielding the Amulet of Kings.
Interestingly, unlike some of the other Daedric Princes, Molag Bal is not one of the Original Spirits (et'Ada) that came to structure themselves with the birth of Time and Slace, and is, in fact, an ascended mortal. More specifically, he was the ruler of the tyrannical Dreugh-Kings that once governed all of the Mundex Arena in the previous Kalpa (Often referred to simply as "Lyg"), holding dominion over the World-River that spanned everything, and although the exact circumstances behind his ascension are not known, it can be inferred that they are related to the destruction of Lyg brought about by Mehrunes Dagon, the Prince of Destruction, as Molag Bal himself is stated to have been the Keeper of Coldharbour since the Fall of Lyg.
