Belial



Belial was a temporary player character in Every Star, briefly played by Danny Sweeney during the beginning of the 5th campaign. He is a doppleganger who was erased from existence and cursed to live something of a "sub-existence".

Backstory
Being a doppleganger, he has no memory of his original form or where he comes from. At one point, he managed to sneak on board the Every Star Station, but was caught by Vous. As punishment, Belial was sent to the Ninth Bastion ahead of time, where he would assist the heroes in their upcoming mission.

The Ninth Bastion
Meeting the same fate that would inevitably befall the heroes, Belial was killed, and his body taken to the Northern Asylum where he would awaken as an Undead. He first meets the heroes in their cells, and is freed by them. However, before their journey together can begin, he met a terrible fate at the fault of absolutely no one. For a single instant, everyone who'd ever known Belial had a slight memory lapse and temporarily forgot about him at the exact same time. It is this unwilling act that causes Belial to be wiped from the normal planes of existence. The cause of this phenomenon can be credited to a number of things: that he's a doppleganger and has less of a being than others, that he was a unique kind of undead at the time, or even the combination of the two. Either way, his allies forgot about him permanently, and his travels with them ended before they began.

Letherna
For unknown reasons, Belial was transformed into a fittingly-named beast known as a Forgotten One and brought to Walter Bernhard's castle in the Shadowfell. There, he underwent unspeakable pain and horrors in the Prison of Eternal Torture, until Kalarel took over the castle and drove everyone out. Five years of solitude passed, and Belial's miserable existence was finally ended at the hands of his former comrades.
