Makhai

The Makhai (singular Makhe), also known as the Demonic Legion or the Demon-Knights, are choleric demons of War, followers of Polemos.

Appearance

The demons of War are huge, man-shaped demons with horns and glowing red eyes. Their skin is usually red or black. Nearly all Makhai warriors form a symbiotic bond with an armorling, a small demonic insect that provides them with a natural suit of armor. This armor skin shifts and can form a variety of weapons from their own limbs, and even their insectoid wings are covered by armored shells. Some tales say that multiple Makhai can even merge into giant goliath demons as tall as a castle, with each limb being a Makhai in its shell.

Intent

Makhai revel only in war. They live for violence and destruction, pillaging and burning, and all the sorrows and plunders of war. They encourage mortals to acts of total war, killing all in their path and salting the earth behind them.

Demon-kin

Demon-kin of Makhai are extremely difficult to defeat. They have black eyes and horns, and may grow an armor shell to protect themselves, with spikes on their limbs to lash out at enemies. They usually serve as commanders in armies, leading troops to acts of terrible destruction.
