Belial

When Cornelius met Belial, Belial would express his regrets and disgust at being forced to eat humans and to crawl around the sewers of Titania. He would ask Cornelius to free him from his torment, and would battle him. Eventually however Cornelius won and used his sword to pierce Belial's heart. This would both gravely wound and free him from the magic binding his heart. Belial would use this opportunity to exact vengeance on one of his captors, before his death.
