Lance's previous incarnation was the Warlord of Hell, a man who had become accustomed to the conflict and strife of the greatest struggle ever - the Primordial War - and sought to continue it on his own terms. When he went to Malfeas and found the fractious minions of the Yozis battling among their countless tiny empires, he knew that in an ironic twist, he had found his outer heaven in the innermost reaches of hell. The serried ranks of the demonic soldiery feared him at first, but then as he switched from his role of one-man army to the general's role he had been forged for by the Unconquered Sun, he began drawing more and more serfs and citizens of the First and Second Circles to himself, uniting them in the brotherhood that can only be found in a unit that has fought together through the infinite varieties of battle conceivable by Hell. He was not entirely unconcerned with the affairs of Creation, and once even sent word to the Deliberative of a potential traitor to Creation named Gorol, though his words were ignored until long after Calan and her mate slew the Thrice-Damned.

He occasionally reappears as a voice in the back of Lance's head, whispering and guiding him to take the more aggressive path to demomstrate his matchless skill. When thus affected, Lance becomes considerably less formal and downright chatty, especially toward demons the Warlord may have impressed into his army in the past.
