The Known Arch-Demons

Overview
Giza - Known in his living days as a world-renowned swordsman, GZA traveled the world with his liquid swords, slaying all challengers. At some point, he sold his soul to evil in exchange for even more power, and when he was finally defeated, the debt came due and he descended to the demonic realm. He is sometimes considered the muscle of the demonic circle.

The Slim Shade - His true name lost to time, the Shade was responsible for the assassination of two Korol Kings, and is said to have done it both time without being detected. Alas, he could not live with his kills being attributed to anyone else, he turned himself in. The Known Gods punished him for this act and sent him to the infernal realm, where the Shade has turned out to be an invaluable resource. He is considered dangerous and unruly, even to his fellow demons, who often say of him: "Don't mess with the Slim Shade."

Nas - Among the most fierce of the demons, there is no living scholar who knows the origins of the Arch Demon Nas. Dotted around Naivara are a number of volcanoes, both dormant and active, and they are all said to have been points from which Nas erupted from the infernal dimension to wreak havoc. He is known to reside over the domain of fire and magma, and has an active cult of followers on Naivara.

Deearee - Known among demonic scholars as "the producer," Deearee is the arch demon most often seen recruiting evil individuals to the demonic cause. He presides over his own layer of the infernal realm, known as "Death Row," where he grooms the next great demonic power. He has a particular affinity for bards, and may have been one himself in his past life.

Andre the Immortal - Out of the Arch Demons, Andre is the only one known to have spent his formative life in the southern regions. It is unclear whether he had truly discovered immortality and self-resurrection, but even if he didn't, he used this trickery to wreak great havoc on the land in his (reportedly) three thousand lives. He conned people out of their riches, their homes, and their lives, and appeared in the infernal realm very shortly after his death.

The Shook Ones - The Shook Ones are two brothers who spent their material lives in the Mobb Deep, far beneath the Pale Mountains. They were known in their lives as great Beast Masters, both belonging to the druidic Circle of the Moon. They became so powerful that they were able to assume the Wild Shape of a pair of ancient green dragons, and rained fire down on the settlements of Naivara. They were finally undone by a famous cadre of fighters known as the Wu, and they were both sent to the infernal plane after their deaths.
