(*Submitted by Four-Eyes*)

Nebiros is son of Satan, the First of the Fallen, and Abaddon the original Second of the Fallen. Their union was meant to secure an alliance negotiated by Lucifer to counter some political maneuvers being undertaken by Azazel, the original Third of the Fallen, many thousands of years ago. Ultimately, the alliance held for a thousand of years but eventually crumbled due to Satan and Abaddon's lack of chemistry failing to produce a number of demonic offspring required to create the political power house that the plan had required.

The most significant child born from this union was Nebiros. Even from a young age, Nebiros showed an intelligence, sophistication, and civility that was uncommon to the denizens of Hell. If he had born in a lesser house, Nebiros would likely not have lived to see maturity but fortunately his parents saw the value in having a demon with such an unusual perspective and prevented his peers and siblings from putting an early end to blossoming genius.

Still, his life was threatened on many occasion. He was seen as an easy target and some ambitious demon lords tried to abduct him as an avenue to blackmail his parents for power or payment. These threats did not go away when Nebiros reached to maturity and only intensified.

As a means to avoid a threat on his life, Nebiros fled to the Devils' Rim. Though a demon choosing to find sanctuary among devils was seen as a foolish tactic to his harassers, it paid off. Nebiros has correctly assessed that devils would not harm the child of two Fallen Lords and his demonic pursuers would not dare infiltrate the Rimlands in an attempt to abduct or assassinate him.

The experience proved formative for Nebiros, giving him insight into Devilkin culture and politics, and allowed him to forge lifelong relationships with many devils. Nebiros befriended Senael and became a honored guest at Melothm for many years where his mother would visit him often.

When it was time for Nebiros to begin forging his own political future, he chosen to leave the Rimlands to apprentice as a quartermaster to Shamash in the Raven Legion for a time. This gave Nebiros ties to the Raven Legion after the Annunaki were executed in a political ploy devised by Nergal and Nebiros' own father.

Nebiros reportedly retreated into his own personal lab and library hidden somewhere in the Rimlands for a long time. When Senael left Hell for a time to wander on Earth, Nebiros returned from his hermit existence to become the first (and only) demon to hold the title of Steward of Melothm. Upon Senael's return Nebiros' stewardship was praised to such significance that Lucifer Morningstar heard tales of it in his court and summoned Nebiros back to Pandemonium.

After a brief time at court, Lucifer felt confident in Nebiros' abilities and named him the new lord of the Ament, a province of Hell known for its cultural interest and being the center for the spread of propaganda. Nebiros accepted the offer and retired to his new seat of power, quickly transforming the palace into a lab without equal in all of Hell.

When it came for Lucifer to leave Hell, Nebiros was summoned once more to the Tower of Dis where he was given Lucifer's trident in addition to a portion of archangel wings, but he was also extended the hand of Aradia Morningstar. Nebiros was uncertain as to why he had been chosen, but accepted the proposal.

### Nebiros: 1983 - Present

Shortly after his marriage to Aradia, Nebiros realized why Lucifer had trusted him with both his daughter and his weapon. Nebiros poured himself into the cause of demon/devil unification. He tried to create a new annunaki house with Aradia, but she refused to become his brood queen. Aradia instead provided him with devil concubines and graces acquired from the black market of Limbo.

Nebiros' experiments to date have had mixed results, but rumor is he believes he is on the verge of a revolutionary breakthrough.

	+ ***Shapeshifting (Limited):*** Nebiros can shift between a number of forms. His preferred form is an attractive human male with black hair. He can alter his features to appear as humans from other cultures or even assume the appearance of some humanoids alien races. He can transform into a swarm of smaller animals such as toads, rats, ravens, and locusts. He can also assume the form of a dog, wolf, hellhound, or bear. Finally his natural "horrific" form is that of an insect-like creature with exoskeleton which leaks blood from its joints and moves about in an unnatural jittery fashion, often quickly shifting between stalled movements and rapid, fluid motion.

	+ ***Teleportation:*** Nebiros can relocate to familiar locations, disappearing in a fierce explosion of bugs which scatter to the nearest dark recesses of the environment.
* **Essomancy:** Nebiros knows how to claim souls and make potent deals powered by souls. Though many demons use this practice as a means to garner souls for wealth, prestige, or to further their personal collections — Nebiros views essomancy as a science to perfect and further his agenda. Nebiros is one of the foremost experts on essomancy. He is able to extract the grace of angels and devils, cleanse them of personal identity, and implant the grace in mortal creatures.

### Weaknesses

* **Ancient Laws:** As a cosmic being, Nebiros is bound by ancient laws
* **Vice — Gluttony:** Nebiros has a sweet tooth. His cigarettes has a telltale sweet smell of them, which can often give away his presence before he announces his arrival (as he often likes to quietly study others from the shadows before showing his face). Nebiros also tends to overindulge in pleasure when he affords himself a chance to do so - going days or weeks ignoring such things as he toils in his lab only to emerge later and disappear into houses of pleasure for days or going to Earth and engaging in a extended spree of self-satisfaction. Interestingly, Nebiros' gluttony appears to be contagious as he leaves some element of this on most of the extracted supernal graces he has handled.
* **Vulnerability — Anti-Infernal Magic:** Nebiros is a being of Infernal energy and magic which affects such energy can affect him.
* **Vulnerability — Eldritch and Supernal Energy:** Excessively potent Eldritch and Supernal energy can affect Nebiros' physiology, making him weak and ill.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* He created a special mythril alloy capable of binding even archangels. He also helped Senael create a special formula to preserve the integrity of his bloodline.
* Nebiros has long been trying to bridge the gap between Demons and Devils, and Lucifer had been a supporter of the demon's efforts. His and Aradia's wedding became a celebrated event in Hell.
* Aradia applauds her husband's attempts to unify Hell, but believes his approach is flawed. The two only speak at social functions and court events. She isn't interested in repopulating Hell with Annunaki, but she sated his interests by recruiting devil concubines for his harem. But when he failed to sire any offspring, Aradia turned to the acquisition of angelic and devilish graces from the black markets of Limbo, even giving a portion of her own grace for her husband's dark experiments.
* During events of Hell on Earth he had his minions kidnap Danielle Cassidy, Marla Bloom and Sharon Scott. He wanted to turn them into Annunaki, hoping this would unite all feuding lords of Hell under his rule. He injected devil's grace into Danielle. Because nothing happened Danielle was discarded, but after a while she suddenly changed into an angel, grabbed a discarded trident and saved Marla.
