Devils and Hell
Before there was a Hell, the deities waged war against the Abyss to create order (Law) out of chaos. After an undetermined time, the deities began to understand that the Abyss had infinite "demons" to throw into battle and began to become bored with the war as they wished to go onto other projects such as the creation of worlds and intelligent beings, so they created celestial beings to serve them and wage the war on their behalf. They were called angels and the war was now known as the Blood War.
Over time, these angels began to take on less wholesome aspects of their enemies which concerned the deities. Also, these dark angels became more sinister and frightening to the deities that one day Asmodeus, the most powerful and cunning of all the dark angels, made an agreement with the deities known as the Pact Primeval which granted these dark angels power over the souls of evil mortals. Souls are the source that all deities use for their powers. With the signing of the Pact, Asmodeus took his dark angels (now known as "Devils") and set about creating a place to hold and use these souls to generate the power needed to fight the Blood War. Now referred to as Baatezu in relation to the name of the plane they come from (Baator), these "Devils" take every opportunity to corrupt mortals in order to gain control of their souls to feed the demands of the Archdevils of Hell.
