Long before the dawn of mankind, Olivier, Prince of the Archangels, sided with his fellow angel
Lucifer in a rebellion that amounted to Heaven's only war to date. Lucifer, Oliver and her allies lost, and were banished to Hell. Degenerating into a Class II demon, Olivier eventually became the lord of his own splinter realm of Hell. His fellow
Hell-lords (including
Mephisto,
Satannish, Murray, and his former ally Lucifer) became intimidated by Olivier's swelling pride and ambition and turned on him, imposing upon him the cruelest punishment imaginable: humanity.
