When the universe came into existence, there was Heaven and there was Hell. Though most believe God was responsible for creating Heavenās angels and Hellās demons, they came into existence after Lucifer was dispatched from the Golden City. It is believed the Prince of Darkness used his magics to conjure unspeakable evils.
Balam is one of the oldest demons in the RiotVerse; as such, heās always been one Hellās most prominent demons.
Throughout millennia, Balam and Lucifer typically found themselves at odds which resulted in power struggle after power struggle.
