Chzo is a pain elemental that lives in the World of Magick. As a pain elemental, he feeds on the pain and suffering of all living things, absorbing them as his sustenance. His spider-like servants prowl his territory in search of trespassers to torment, so that their lord might feed.
Past[]
Chzo became the most powerful pain elemental in the universe at some point in the distant past by defeating and absorbing all of his brethren, rendering the entire species extinct save for himself. The absorption of his fellows transformed him from a diminutive blob of meat into vast mountain of gristle and twisted flesh. His immense size requires that he constantly ingest vast quantities of pain and Magick to survive. It also means that minor torments only serve to stoke the fires of his appetite; his minions must perform truly ghastly forms of torture, such as flaying and salting wounds or slowly stretching limbs to impossible lengths, just to keep him satiated for even a minuscule amount of time.
Present
Throughout the events of the games, Chzo’s name is used quite often, usually by magick users and cultists who worship him. His true intentions aren’t revealed until the final game of the series, Six days a sacrifice. During the ending, it is revealed that Chzo’s intentions were never to invade and conquer the realm of technology, as it being devoid of magick would have rendered him powerless. Instead, his intention was to draw a new servant from among the hordes of humanity into his realm so that they might replace his current servant, Cabadath. He finds this new champion in Theo DeCabe, who is granted the blessings of Chzo and all the powers of his predecessor, becoming the New Prince, before throwing down Cabadath and destroying him in Chzo’s name.
