What Has Come Before...
In a time when demons and the Celestials walked amongst men, the archdemon Lucifer, king of darkness sired an heir. He was an heir like none other, for his mother was a mortal. A daywalker, pure of body and heart, he began life as a human with his human mother.
When he came of age, he was brought, with his mother, down to the city of Pandemonia to become the Heir of Chaos.
But all was not well in the City of Darkness...
The Champions of Hel's Gates, the Generals of the Morningstar were insulted that a half-breed whelp could become their lord.
For thirteen millennia, they plotted against their Lord and Master, biding their time.
As with all, Destiny would reward the patient...
Caught unawares by the machinations of his servants, Lord Morningstar fought off their minions as well as he was able. That night, Hel burned with his rage. As he smote his traitorous minions, he was struck a cruel blow. When the Son of Darkness was conceived, Morningstar tied his essence to the human woman for all eternity. He lived just long enough to see his love's lifeblood stain his Palace.
The demons then rallied in an attempt to conquer the surface world and Paradise beyond. But again, She of Fate dealt her hand.
As they rose by betrayal, so too did they fall, for they did not count upon one of their own to beget a child.
Thus did Sparda, Lieutenant of the Morningstar, avenge his fallen lord.
His son would eventually take up the stewardship of the Mortal World.
Empires rose and fell as time advanced, as the world evolved. One of the betrayers made his bid for power, and was crushed by the might of the Steward.
As the Cycle passed again, the Steward is summoned yet again, as Dark and Light combine to defeat again a Champion of the Gates.
Now all that remains is the Heir of Chaos, for it is He and, Him alone, that can again bring balance.
His path will be difficult, for He must make a choice. It is Him and His word that will either bring Balance, or Armageddon.
Choose well, Heir of Chaos. Choose well...
