Demagogue

Primus, formerly known as the Demagogue, is the owner and creator of the Maze within the Underdark, and a former AI unit of the Ironmongers. He was freed by Tharzidun and set loose in the territory that would become the Maze. His Maze was improved upon by the Elementalist, a master dungeon maker himself, in preparation for the Lords of Kylia. At the end of the Maze, in the Colosseum of Eyes, the Lords fought wave after wave of the Demagogue's minions, culminating with the Demogogue himself. He was soundly defeated, but unbeknownst to the Lords at the time, survived his brutal deconstruction. The Lords only realized this when they were told by the AI that he had survived.

He returned as part of the Ten Dreams of Iolar, in which the green dragonlord Reguluk contracted the Demagogue to create his test. However, he broke the rules of the Ten Dreams, warping reality to create an impossible threat, causing Reguluk let him go from his position. The Demagogue appeared again in Delphon, where he witnessed the gods' arrival and demise, though not before he ascended to godhood by taking on the spirit of a god. Now known as Primus, renamed as such by the AI, he currently dwells in the Underdark, helping the AI wage war against the drow and their gods.

## Personality

Primus is extraordinarly vain, considering himself the epitome of all life, something far above normal beings. He also considers all Warforged to be superior beings compared to normal "fleshlings". This can be seen by his scoreboard within the Maze, which continually ranked LE-1F as the most successful member of the party. While this may be true, his decision was also heavily influenced by LE-1F's robotic nature.

When another being considers itself superior, Primus is quick to remove said being from the equation in order to ensure his superiority, such as when his riddle-answering program declared itself the greatest mechanical being in the room when posed said question by Raxis.

Primus loves games, riddles, puzzles, and all forms of entertainment. This can be seen by his Maze, which he ran like a game-show host. Every action that the Lords took was broadcast to a live-studio audience of robots within the Colosseum, revealed later to be empty husks of nothingness. When the Lords of Kylia refused to play his game by his rules, shooting his puppet as it provided play-by-play commentary, the Demagogue became very upset, involving himself personally in the conflict in the Colosseum of Eyes.

Recently, however, Primus seemingly has become disillusioned and bored by the time he has spent in the Underdark, claiming that it is no fun to be worshipped when all of his disciples are programmed to worship him.

## Abilities

The Demagogue was a brilliant artificer, creating a suit of armor out of solid adamantine, complete with twin adamantine six-blades, for his consciousness to dwell in. He also created most of the Maze, though it was in need of dire improvement by the time that the Lords of Kylia encountered it. He built many of the robots that the Lords fought in the Colosseum of Eyes, and built himself many magical devices that produced effects similar to powerful magical spells.

Once he became Primus, the Demagogue was granted all of the abilities of a god. So far, he has demonstrated an ability to mask his presence from other gods, transport himself between planes of existence, and charm lesser beings, placing them in a stupor. It is unknown what the full extent of his abilities are.
