Rakdos

Rakdos was Demon Lord who ruled a layer of the Abyss called the Jester's Folly. Known as the Showstopper, Rakdos existed to observe (and act out) hedonistic and violent performances.

Description
Rakdos' body was that of a towering, muscular, male humanoid, adorned with chains and spikes. Two leathery wings sprouted from his back and his head was adorned with two sets of horns, as well as a wreath of flame. Rakdos was never without his scythe, a flaming weapon he dubbed Curtain Call. Those who encountered Rakdos usually ended up watching the performance of him and his troupe, a gruesome display of brutality and overindulgence. Those who worshiped Rakdos often sought to impress him with their best performances, although those performers who did not give their all were usually swiftly destroyed.

History
Rakdos made a brief visit to the material plane during the Age of Demons, although he was swiftly returned to the Abyss by the forces of Paladine.

In later years, Rakdos became an icon among the downtrodden, particularly those living in the slums of large cities and similar areas. Many Rakdos-worshiping organizations existed in the world, such as The Gore House, a Nightclub in Mooncrest, and the infamous Circus of Rakdos.

Followers
Rakdos's followers were mainly members of hedonistic organizations such as the Circus of Rakdos. Given his reputation, many of the poor and downtrodden paid homage to Rakdos, although they were usually unaware of his true evil until it was too late.

Rakdos was responsible for the creation of several types of demons, which often assisted in his performances, such as the Cackler, the Master of Cruelties, and the Sire of Insanity.
