He is tasked with gathering souls for the his masters, but can also be summoned to the other realms to claim souls for dark ambassadors of his cause.

Almeryctian's arms stretch out before him on massive convulsing limbs, equipped with elongated hands and serrated claws. His jaw stretches in a seemingly endless gape, from which  darkness and suffering swirls into the world. It is said that in his presence all light is extinguished and only the muted screams of his victims can be heard, struggling against the abyss as they are dragged down to hell.
