Baphomet (/bɑːˈfoʊmɛt/ ba-FOM-et, /ˈbɑːfʌmɛt/ BAF-u-met, /ˈbɑːfoʊmɛt/ BAF-oh-met)

Demon Prince Baphomet

Baphomet was a Demon lord who ruled a layer of The Abyss called the Endless Maze. He was the Prince of Beasts and the Demon Lord of Minotaurs, an embodiment of savagery and an insidious force that wormed its way into the heart of his followers to deceive them into embracing brutality.

"We are all beasts, and only delusion prevents you from seeing the truth.”
— Oostarix, Eater of Men and cultist of Baphomet.

Worshipers

“Horned King! Remove the veil of deception and reveal unto us the true nature of mortality!”
— A knight of the Horned King

Baphomet had a multitude of Minotaur, Ogre, and Giants followers and minions. He was also served by ghour demons, a race of demons resembling burly, hairless minotaurs that commanded troops of these mortal minions. He sought to use them to further his schemes, notably to gain the upper hand in his battles against Yeenoghu. A multitude of other twisted creatures revered Baphomet as well, some becoming his thralls, and if they pleased their bestial patron, they would be granted rulership of a portion of the Endless Maze. Those who displeased Baphomet were eaten.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

It was suggested that Baphomet began his existence as a mortal creature, though it was unclear whether he was a beast that lived as a man or a man who lived as a beast. It was also suggested that he was cursed by the gods for daring to treat them like cattle, and thus banished to the Abyss. In any case, Baphomet reveled in his power, seeing the curse more as a blessing.

Intellectual Characteristics

Although he is filled with bestial blood lust, there lies within him a cruel and cunning intellect devoted to subverting all civilization.
