Abilities

Because he was born of the universe itself, Balam draws his abilities from ancient energy sources created as a result of the Big Bang.

This grants him several superhuman powers, including access to a fire-like energy that he can blast from his hands, eyes, and mouth.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, he also has powers rooted in the manipulation of water, allowing him ice/frost blasts and the capacity for other water-related, projectile blasts.

Since heā€™s been a student of Hell for much longer than you or I, heā€™s also very knowledgeable of the Dark Arts and knows a thing or two about hexes and spells.

HISTORY AND ORIGIN

When the universe came into existence, there was Heaven and there was Hell. Though most believe God was responsible for creating Heavenā€™s angels and Hellā€™s 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, heā€™s always been one Hellā€™s most prominent demons.

Throughout millennia, Balam and Lucifer typically found themselves at odds which resulted in power struggle after power struggle.

Finally, when the stars aligned just right, they agreed on a compromise ā€” Balam could have free reign over Earth, all he needed to do was to leave his 40 legions of troops in Hell to answer directly to Lucifer and his forces.
