Throughout the realms of creation, few devils boast a name as widely recognized as that of Geryon. Called the Wild Beast, the Trifold Duke, and—in the modern age—the Broken Beast, Geryon was once the ruler of Stygia, fifth layer of the Nine Hells. For a time, Geryon enjoyed all that Asmodeus promised him, and more. That was, until the new uprising, when the dukes of the Nine Hells turned upon Asmodeus—all save Geryon himself. For his loyalty, Geryon was punished, stripped of rank and power, and exiled from the Pit. Today, the Broken Beast is perhaps the worst sort of devil: unbound to the Nine Hells, without direction and with nothing to lose.

Long did Geryon gaze with many eyes upon his brother angel. "And we know, too, of your ambitions, but we share them not. Why, then, should our hatred of our lord inspire fealty to one such as you?" asked he.

"I can offer you power such as you have never known, a realm of possibilities undreamt of. You shall sit at my right hand, that none might gainsay you."
