Sword of Madness - contains Large Weapon (Sword)/4 and Entropy (Ethereal)/6; acts as a Reliquary/6.

Discord: Angry/6, Murderous/6

Attunements: Demon of Rage, Calabim of the War, Calabim of Gluttony, Calabim of Death, Art of Combat, Firewalker, Unstoppable, Vampiric Kiss, others as desired by the GM.

Special Rites: Bolagg gains 1 Essence any time he gives in to his rage and kills or destroys something. He does this a lot. Theoretically, any Servitor of Rage could recieve this Rite. In actual fact, Bolagg tends to kill would-be Servitors who approach him.

Special Attunements:

• Demon of Rage - Bolagg may inflict the Angry or Murderous Discords on others with a successful Will roll (this may be resisted by a Will roll). The target gains Angry or Murderous (Bolagg's choice) at a level equal to the check die, for a number of minute equal to the check die.
• Unstoppable - Bolagg may not be stunned or knocked unconscious.

Again, theoretical Servitors of Rage could purchase either of these attunements for 10 character points (but see Special Rites, above).

Dissonance Conditions: Bolagg earns a note of dissonance any time he grows angry and does not act on that anger.

Little is known about Bolagg. It is known that he is one of the oldest of the Calabim, having fought on the side of the rebels when the great War began in Heaven. It is also known that he was granted his Word shortly after the Fall, and that he has never served a Demon Prince. He remains a solitary figure in Hell, used by the Demon Princes and the Word-bound, and feared by all else.

Bolagg has never been a servitor of any Word but his own. No Demon Prince has ever attempted to force Bolagg into service; he is simply too destructive to keep around, and Demon Princes often have a use for the other demons he would kill. Instead, they bargain with him (after all, Bolagg offers small and large scale murder and destruction in a competant and deniable package) in much the same manner as they would bargain with a Free Lilim; favors are offered in exchange for services rendered. Bolagg always demands payment up front, but has never failed to carry out his part of the bargain. He isn't stupid, and crossing a Demon Prince is about as stupid as it gets.

Many demons are surprised that a demon as old and powerful as Bolagg is not a Prince in his own right. Most Demon Princes are not surprised, however. Bolagg's Word, and the way he promotes it, is inherently self-defeating. His rage leads him to kill demons who approach him seeking to serve Rage. His attempts to promote it in the Corporeal Realm do as much to injure his Word (by driving people away from Rage) as they do to advance it. The Hierarchy of Hell sees him as a useful, but foolish, tool.

Bolagg may be found in the wastes and backwaters of Hell, venting his rage on anyone and anything in his path. The various Demon Princes tolerate this when he is in their Domains (they order their Servitors to stay out of his path, and those that do not were too stupid to be of any use to the Prince) as long as the destruction is kept to a minimum. Eventually, however, their patience wears thin and Servitors (typically those the Prince wants punished) are sent to drive him from the Domain. He rarely travels to Earth; when he does, it is because he has been hired by a Demon Prince or because he is attempting to promote his Word . This is messy and unpleasant to be around, no matter what the reason.

Game Use: Bolagg is bad news when he is around, no matter which side you are on. In an angel campaign Bolagg could have been hired by a Demon Prince who is personally offended by the actions of the PCs, and who wishes to express that offense in a very spectacular fashion. Alternatly, Bolagg could just be a side encounter; he could be attempting to promote his Word (noticable as simple disagreements escalate into fistfights and attempted murder), or he could have been mistakenly summoned by a (very skilled but not too bright) sorceror.

In a demon campaign, the PCs could be assigned to "watchdog" Bolagg, making sure he locates his target and finishes his assignment. They could become Bolagg's targets by upsetting a Demon Prince (see above) or just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

No matter what sort of campaign he is used in, Bolagg is bad news. Use him like a dragon or Godzilla; he's a nearly unstoppable killing machine who shows up to destroy buildings and trample innocent bystanders.
