Balban

Demon of Delusion.
Mistress of the Beast.
The Messenger.

Origin: Originally from Persia, Balban (or Balbon) was one of Ahriman's
mistresses and was known to Hebrew scholars as "The Beast's Bitch." The Hindi know her as Shakti, Shiva’s perpetually orgasmic mistress.

Career: It is not clear how Balban was made to join the Infernal pantheon, but she was eventually sent to cause misery among "Tommas' Christians" in Southern India. After she got bored setting off civil wars, Balban moved on and briefl y resided in the Indian Court, reputedly fathering the King bearing her name. She has since moved on, never really settling down anywhere - one of the reasons being that the worshipers she gathers tend to die at an alarming rate. She is known to enjoy asylums and other such places, and was also seen in Lubjianka in the late 1950's.

Character: Jaded and constantly bored, Balban is something of a thrill seeker. She currently likes to appear as a shivaesque dominatrix.

Symbols and attributes: An enormous, unseeing eye. A leach.
