Origin: Baal appears time and time again in the Bible. But since the name means "Lord" in a very general sense, Baal is most likely a conglomeration of several gods turned into one seriously hostile entity.
Career: Early on Baal realised that being a Daemon suited him, and his fondness for human sacrifices has made him a scourge throughout history. He has never abandoned his native Middle East and is still active there, especially during times of war. In the 1980's he held court in Beirut for a while, and he is still worshiped in remote parts of Syria and Anatolia.
Character: Baal is regal, sophisticated and egoistic, and enjoys war and
magicians. He is known to be bloated and obese, while having thin, spidery legs. He teaches his disciples stratagems and instructs them on how to become invisible.
Symbols and attributes: Thunderbolts as well as bull's horns. Some people also claim that he (as well as most other Daemons) has three heads. This, however, is just a medieval stereotype that caught on sometime around the year 950 when triplet heads was fashionable among Daemonkind. The whole fad soon went out of fashion when it was discovered that no creature could stay sane while having
to cope with three separate brains. Once that was finally settled, Daemonkind then applied themselves to the task of staging the Crusades.
