General Xadu
Xadu was one of the Demon generals who led the invasion of Legere during the Demon Wars, serving under the command of Ba'al. The Archangel Michael's dialogue with him suggested that he and Michael were siblings or close friends of some kind. The exact nature of their relationship was unclear and difficult to define considering the abstractness of Angels' nature outside of the confines of Legere's laws of reality.
After being taken prisoner by the Angels during the tail end of the Demon Wars, Xadu was taken to Mount Moses to be held in a secret prison alongside another Demon, Shango. Xadu would be released decades later during a surprise attack on the Righteous Fort by the Dark Heroes. He would become a powerful ally to the Ebon Alliance during the Legerian War by providing supreme tactical planning and joining the fray on the battlefield.
Combat Involvement #
Xadu went by the moniker of The Throatripper by the United Legerian Forces during the Demon Wars. This title was given to him after his penchant for executing captives in a brutally intimate manner--with his knives.
Xadu was, like any Demon, a terrifying adversary to face in battle. He fought by conjuring and throwing barrages of ethereal knives made of roiling profane energies, killing huge swathes of his enemies at a time. Xadu was known to fight with unbridled passion, and often killed the Imps on the battlefield that were under his command while attacking the enemy.
Capture #
Xadu was captured towards the end of the Demon Wars, in 5 DHT. During a Demonic offensive at the doorstep of the Arcane Academy, Xadu and his fighters were ambushed by a pincer attack orchestrated by exceptionally powerful mages from the Academy, Corgathian musketeers, and Phovezilan Elemental Warriors. Angels cut off Xadu's escape from above, stopping him from making it out of the ambush. Xadu's hot-blooded furor was what allowed him to be lured into staging his offensive in the first place--normally Ba'al would have reigned the general in, but the Demon Commander had already been slain in Kaldrefell the year before.
The Archangel Michael was present for the ambush, and in fact commanded the Legerian United Forces during the operation specifically so they could catch the Demon General. During the ambush, most of the Demons under Xadu's command were slain, save for Shango. Both Shango and Xadu would go on to be imprisoned in a secret dungeon hidden under Mount Moses, which would later be stewarded by the Righteous Order.
