Tempus (Lord of time)

Long before recorded time two brothers lust for power, wealth and glory led them to the darkest places far beyond the known planes of existence where they found two seeds of pure darkness entwined with runes of flame and lightning. Whispering voices in the darkness promised the two brothers untold power, all they had to do was consume the seed and kill their brother … Desperate for power both brothers consumed the seeds and started a bloody battle which lasted for days before both brothers struck a mortal wound on the other. As the brothers life blood drained away the seeds of darkness grow within their bodies and the first true devils and demons were born. The two brothers become known as Tempus and Asmodeous and for a time lived in relative harmony with each other as they carved a bloody path through the multiverse seeking a new home to build an army unlike any other seen in the planes before.

Tempus is both a demon and devil at the same time blending both law and chaos together in an almost schizophrenic personality. After creating an army of demons and devils with their brother Asmodeous they created a set of laws pitting demons against devils while both species served the brothers seeking enough power to overthrow the lords of the abyss.

Almost 100,000 years ago (long before the world of Gadriel was created by the Vebreans), Tempus was locked away by Asmodeous and Celestus after he attempted to go back in time and wipe out his brother and the celestial host lead by Celestus at the battle of Ashtara. Celestus was unable to contain the raw power of Tempus alone, turning to Adara seeking the master of spells help in preventing Tempus from ever endangering the timeline again. Adara sheared a sliver from the heart of Indara, giving it to Celestus with the knowledge that thrusting the shard into Tempus would merge both Tempus and Celestus into an eternal cycle of rebirth with Celestus acting as jailor for the rest of time.
