Lore[]
Upon the throne at the very core of Hades sat the origin of all darkness. Though Demogorgon had slept for all eternity, he awoke when the dark mists blanketed the surface of Neotellus. "The time has come," he whispered as he rose from his seat and stepped forward. "The impudent shadow King has fallen. None can oppose me now."

Name Origin[]
Demogorgon, although often ascribed to Greek mythology, is attributed to a fourth-century scholar, imagined as the name of a pagan deity or demon, associated with the underworld and envisaged as a powerful primordial being, whose very name had been taboo.
Various theories suggest that the name is derived from a combination of the Greek words daimon ("spirit" given the Christian connotations of "demon") and Gorgon ("grim") - the Ancient Greek triad of goddesses (Stheno, Euryale and Medusa) whose name derived from word gorgos ("dreadful").
