Description
These once mortal paladins granted their service to serve Asmodeus in life and death, in return for power. These knights spent years of their life practicing dark rituals, and cursed prayers, even going as far as human sacrifices. In death, their souls were sent to become one with the essence of Nessus. Asmodeus granted each of them a spiritual rebirth, by his own hands giving theme a mark of blasphemy engraved on their heads. They grant their full obedience to all of Baator, and fight for the uprising of Asmodeus. The blood apostles are sent to deal with tasks on the prime material realm, typically tasked to bounty hunt, and gain spheres of control upon the prime material plane. These vile servants strike fear to any mortal who dears to gaze upon them. They wear heavy, dark, jagged armor laced in a fiery hellish red glow to it. They're helm's cover they're entire head, besides leaving a gap for they're horrid glowing eyes. They each carry a sword, covered in the blood of demons on them, with a human skull on the hilt. It is said to be unknown on how many blood apostles exist, but is believed to be no more than 10.
