Haagenti (pronounced hah-GEN-tie)[1] is the demon lord of alchemy and change and is actually one of the more subtle demon lords, or so he is often perceived.[2]

History
Amongst some there is a theory that Haagenti is the most reasonable and least destructive of the demon lords due to his numerous helpful creations, the most famous being the Philosopher's Stone which transmutes lead into gold; this wondrous item is used as his unholy symbol. This perception of his urbanity is, in fact, a deliberate ruse: Haagenti is just as evil and destructive as any other demon. That he creates seemingly useful wondrous alchemic devices is just how he influences society.[2] Haagenti is responsible for the creation of powerfully destructive items, such as the demonic Retriever and the secrets of the drow's fleshwarping magic.[3][4] Lesser creations, like alchemist's fire, are potent destructive weapons.
He raised one of his servants, a blue dragon named Arantaros, to undeath in order to continue his studies into alchemy and necromancy.[5]
Home
Haagenti is makes his home in the Abyssal realm called Cerebulim, a clockwork labyrinth of endless laboratories.[2][6]
Appearance
Haagenti's form is much like his favoured practice of alchemy, a mutable and ever changing thing. On the rare occasions when Haagenti actually interacts with his worshippers he appears as a member of their race, and as such has a huge number of favoured forms. Rumour has it that his true form is that of a demonic winged bull but there is no real proof of this.[2][7]
Cult & Worshippers
Cultist of Haagenti tend to be magic users or alchemists and he serves as the patron of the drow noble house of Parastric.[8]
