### Background

The demoness Abaddon and the daimon sorcerer Mamaragan had a brief magical affair. Abaddon would become pregnant with twins as a result of this fling.

### Satanus: ~1900 BCE - 1616

Satanus and his twin sister Infernus were born in Hell, shortly after Abaddon entered into a marriage with another Fallen. Satanus was named in honor of his adopted father Satan, the First of the Fallen; while his twin was named Infernus in honor of inferno, the star of Hell. The two children would go on to become quite powerful figures in Hell, though while Infernus remained closely aligned with her adopted father and her mother, Satanus's politics deviated.

Affiliated with Azazel and Belphegor, Satanus became a conspirator in their plot to sire Anung Un Rama and transform the child into a weapon for the apocalypse. While Azazel was searching for the right witch to bring the demonic child into existence, Satanus aided Belphegor in the acquisition of the Right Hand of Doom — a relic required to make the as-of-yet unborn child a beast of mass destruction.

Belphegor and Satanus found the Right Hand of Doom attached to the legendary Great Behemoth. They managed to slay the creature and remove its stone hand. The creature's other appendages were not required, but Satanus collected one for himself, believing it would prove useful later.

### Satanus: 1616 - 1987

After the birth of Anung Un Rama, Lucifer was in the business of bringing down punishments on Azazel and Belphegor. Satan managed to secure a mild punishment for Satanus, exiling him to Earth for three-hundred-thirty-three-years. As Satanus had known who his true father was for some time, he decided to make his exile productive and went to seek out Mamaragan.

Satanus' search took him to Australia - mere years after Europeans first landed on its shores. Satanus found his father living as a god among the Aboriginal Australian people. Mamaragan was not impressed with his son's wickedness and chose to shun him. Satanus did not appreciate this and swore vengeance upon his father. When Satanus began to slaughter humans in a effort to diminish his father's worship, Mamaragan convinced his worshippers his son was the evil trickster Bamapana and used their support to perform a ritual which caused Satanus to be swallowed up by "the Dreamtime" — a part of the Dreaming leased to the Aboriginal gods.

As a prisoner of the Altjira, Satanus was unable to leave the Dreaming. His exile expired from Hell and no one appeared to take notice, most having forgotten about him. Satanus only had a vague understanding of what was happening outside the Dreaming, most of its gathered through the observations of dreaming mortals.

When Lucifer gave ownership of Hell to Morpheus, Satanus made his way to Ghost Castle to put in a bid. When Morpheus offered all the Lords of Hell pieces of Lucifer's wings in exchange for ownership of Hell, Satanus was upset, However, after Satanus witnessed what happened to Azazel, he was much more grateful for the gift.

### HIM: 1987 - 2004

Satanus used a good portion of his share of archangel wings to pay Belphegor to rescue him from Altjira after the disappearance of Morpheus made the Dreaming easier to escape for most prisoners (outside of those held in Ghost Castle itself). Upon his return to Hell, Satanus used the rest of his Luciferin Endowment to buy one of Lucifer's former titles in a poorly planned scheme to claim Lucifer's chattel. The plan ended up being dashed apart in the Infernal Courts by Aradia Morningstar who had Satanus' own father, the best advocate in Hell, on retainer.

Forced to pay damages, Satanus surrendered his own name, a hand, and any claim to Hell - but did manage to keep the title (though it had not legal value anymore). His Infernal Majesty, or "HIM", returned to Australia where he could claim some residual worship as Bamapana. HIM was also able to find where he had buried the behemoth's claw in the Outback and used it to replace his missing hand.

## Personality

 File:HIM Symbol.png
(*Submitted by ChemXDaddy*) HIM is a dark soul — bitter, evil, ruthless, mysterious, diabolical, domineering, and obsessed with his personal satisfaction. HIM is a sadist that treats everyone as a replaceable plaything he can be controlled and broken to his heart's content. While HIM is quite capable of wholesale destruction, he prefers to play mind games to make things more "entertaining". Despite his psychopathic nature, HIM carries himself with flamboyant demeanor. He speaks in an echoing effeminate falsetto; but when angry, his voice changes to a deep, masculine, and demonic growl.
