Mental characteristics

Personal history

Through his connections with Asmodeus, Mahadi has earned a position of prominence within Avernus. His Wandering Emporium is one of the only merchant groups legally allowed to service the needs of the First Hell, and this arrangement has resulted in excellent profits for Mahadi. His position has also gained him a vast wealth of experience as a deal broker and negotiator, and many high ranking devils and demons frequent the Infernal Rapture in order to meet with representatives from the opposing side of the Blood War in peace—for a price, that is.
When the Antiheroes came to the Nine Hells, they met Mahadi under the pretext of fulfilling their friend Siaal's debt to him. Mahadi requested that they deliver a celestial creature named Lulu to a woman named Feonor somewhere on Avernus.
