Ahzi Dahaka

Ahzi Dahaka

This demon is Ahriman ' s second in command, a former minor creature from Dyval that the god took in and nurtured, giving it enormous supernatural powers. Ahzi's greatest desire is to destroy all living things and will go to great lengths to achieve this end. 
Unlike Aeshma, however, Ahzi is willing to take his time and be subtle about it. This is why he has risen in the ranks of the gods of darkness, and why Aeshma is little more than a glorified hatchet-man. At least that is how he sees it. 
Aeshma thinks Ahzi is a self-important boot-licker.
Ahzi usually sends fragments of his essence to different planes in the Megaverse, possessing mortals and using them to carry out his nefarious plots. 
Two of them have recently arrived on Rifts Earth, where they are starting small cults to the gods of darkness. These cults kidnap people and use these victims in sacrificial ceremonies. The power and influence of the cults is steadily increasing. A few mediumsized towns are now completely under the control of the cultists. 
Visitors will find the townsmen friendly and hospitable, until they are ambushed and taken to the dark altars below the town and sacrificed by the harmless-looking townspeople.
