Twice a week we'll be sharing some important facts on Impires protagonist Báal-Abaddon and the world in which he dwells.
Know thy Imp, part 1:
Like most demons Baal-Abaddon grew up dreaming of a job as foreign correspondent at the Inferno Times, preferably stationed in Ardania – a realm renowned for its pleasant climate, tender clerics and for how easily hellspawns can blend in amongst its nobles.
Know thine Imp, part 2:
Being Pit Boss of the Bottomless Pit is no spring break in Limbo, but there are two assignments that Baal-Abaddon would never consider: first, the one as chamber maid for the arch demon Brunwazzer; second, the job of teaching freshly arrived Hell-residents how to beg and gurgle in Demonish.
Know thine Imp, part 3:
Baal-Abaddon has repeatedly declined the offer to evolve into an arch demon – mainly because he values his well-defined abs, pecs and buttocks, and would hate to turn in to a shapeless mountain of fluttering flesh.
Know Thine Imp, part 4:
In fourth grade, when commanded to choose a musical instrument for participating in the school orchestra, Baal-Abaddon managed to ignore his perverse fondness for the lyre and did like most of his classmates – he settled on the tuba.
Know Thine Imp, part 5: Baal-Abaddon doesn’t like to travel abroad. Leaving Hell is never a problem, it’s getting back home and making it past the multitude of tests, scans and bodily exams that is the problem. Hell, being Hell, has got a lot of enemies and really needs to protect its borders …
Know Thine Imp part 6:
Sports are big in Hell. Early on Baal-Abaddon was considered a talented headball player and also showed real promise on the figure slashing arena. He could have been a megastar if his mother hadn’t forced him to focus on his education and on the “sport” she preferred – floorball.
Know Thine Imp, part 7:
Baal-Abaddon introduces himself as the Creature of the Bottomless Pit. That is, mildly put, a self- glorifying lie! If truth be told he was born in the Barely Noticeable Slump, spent his adolescent years in the Long Shallow Ditch, and was until a year ago stationed in the Not Nearly Infinite Hollow …
Know Thine Imp, part 8:
The Bottomless Pit is mainly populated by Ardanian sinners and demons who have been caught giggling or cuddling furry pets. A lesser known statistic says that 26,7% of the slithering masses are made up of dispirited refugees who have fled to Hell from war, starvation or persecution in some neighboring dimension …
Know Thine Imp, Part 9:
The only real difference between Hell and Ardania – aside from the current fashion trends and the bodily constitution of the residents – is that, in Hell, the 0,1% of the population that owns 99,9% of the riches not only kills but also eats anyone who has a problem with the distribution of wealth.
