Story
I. Past
Caius' fall led to the groundwork of mortal wickedness across all realms, setting the groundwork for more evil to arise. And when it did, so came six more sins, each feeding off of the vices of mortal kind. Their births, though quiet and silent, would send shockwaves of evil, wreaking havoc upon populations. All before heaven's hands came down to banish them to the underworld where they lay to rot.
Creation
It was said Alex was born when envy filled the soul of a maiden of a married king. Her jealousy over the queen had been so strong, that what came of it was a being ugly as her soul was. Small, quiet, and observant, Alex watched with wicked facination as they led the woman to insanity. The devil on her shoulder, they whispered horrible fantasies and fueled her envy. And when the maiden finally drove mad, killing both the dear king she loved and the queen in the process, Alex found their work to be done, escaping away and leaving her pour soul to suffer the consequences. From then on, they found themselves amongst the poor. The downtrodden and the pathetic. Those looking up above them not with facination or determination but envy and spite. Their influence, though widespread, was quiet and silent. At least until a violent inssurection rose up from jealous barons and dukes, attacking the monarchy for power. It was then many gods realized. This was no work of a weaker lesser demon, but a lurking archdemon, born in the shadows.
Banishment
Filled with confidence, Alex became more and more reckless with their evil works. That was until the gods came down to strike them from the mortal realm. Being slippery, they escaped once or twice. But there was so many hiding spots they could utilize and when the time came, they banished Alex into the underworld. There, their envy would only grow, the hatred in their heart strong.
II. Present
It had been decades since their banishment, the archdemon dwelling in the shadows growing more and more jealous with every day that passed. Despite the underworld being filled with entities similar to themselves, the rat took no comfort in it. But banishment meant nothing if nobody caught you breaking the rules. Despite strict vigilance the gods had on the mortal realm, Alex was able to skirt by once in a while as a feral creature and animal. There, they would meet a poor soul. A perfect target. Kayo, a mortal worthy to be dragged into their ranks. But instead of a bitter heart, Alex found a kind girl. And no matter what deal they struck, she wouldn't budge. No matter, Alex was an immortal being, they could wait. It was only a matter of time after all...

III. Future
Suddenly, the worst would happen. War between the gods and the demons broke out. And while Alex would love to do nothing with such issues, it had affected their sibling and her health, forcing them out of their hiding to care for her. With tensions high and trustability low, Alex had made the mistake in abandoning their mortal target in paranoia. What came of it was a deal, not with themselves, but with a demon of wrath. Kayo, now filled with hate and fury, was no longer a target. And Alex soon realized, he had accidentally made a friend. But with Nemesis' tight control over her soul, there was nothing a weak demon like Alex could do.
