In order to reach the rank of chancellor, Lazivos (LAH-zih-vohs) had to execute dozens of intricate schemes, uttered hundreds of deceptions into opportune ears, and positioned countless rivals into unfortunate - yet completely compromising - circumstances. [1]

Demeanor

Lazivos was a consummate narcissist who disliked dirtying his own hands unless absolutely necessary. Even when forced into a fight, the infernal chancellor coerced his enemies into aiding him, weakening them even further. [1]

History

Lazivos pursued election into the Court of Seven Cities. He commanded and exploited his assembly of devils to curry favor and acquire loftier connections. His agents manipulated mortals and collected powerful relics on his behalf, like the True Name weapon [2], ever expanding his reach and strengthening his grip. [1]

Lazivos used Eighth City Advocacy Services as his base of operations. It was a place of business, which also contained Lazivo's secret headquarters, the Agency. [3]

Underlings

Workers of ECAS

  • Orecic, one of devils who greeted guests. [3]
  • Anyahx, devil receptionist. [3]
  • Thrubwell, devil consultant. [3]
  • Aemilios, devil. [3]
  • The Clinician, devil Lazivo's information retrieval specialist. [3]
  • Akistos, devil who kept information in the vault secure. Hated Lazivos, but his contract stopped him from taking direct action against his superior. [3]

Quotes

You say it's "just a signature". My good sir, what you believe is a mere scribble is actually your very soul on these pages. This ink in your book. It is your bond. Try as you might, it will not break. Your choice has already been made. Not even dishonor can reverse it.
—Infernal Chancellor Lazivos, [4]
