Mersin Derl'Vurn the White was a Paladin at the High Order. He was given the honourable task to help a village get rid of a demonic plague in his early years. Mersin, by then still an adept and his group travelled to the village and in an epic fight of good versus bad they finally could defeat the fiends. Only Mersin and another member of his order came out of this battle alive, of course not without Shiizzzran'dill, a large Tanar'ri with characeristic large red horns, swearing revenge. Years later a young mage opened a gate to the abyss through which Shiizzzran'dill could escape. He had planned his revenge carefully. First he seduced the Paladin's wife in disguise impregnating her with the child she and Mersin had so long waited for. Then he waited for decades, watching his breed growing up in the safety of the Paladin's home. The son named Shizzra drove his cuckoo father mad with his temper. Magically the fiend hid the outer signs of his sons heritage to the onlookers eye. When Shizzra reached adolescence, it was time for the Fiend to take his revenge. He used the night after a family reunion, when the whole family was gathered in the remote house of Mersin. He cast several spells of silence that would prevent any sound leaving the house and barriers to keep anyone from moving out of the house. Then he cast illusional and fear inducing spells in every room of the house. His most powerful spell he cast on the Paladin, now an elder to the order. Mersin could not resist the spell and suddenly there were demons all around him he grabbed his sword at his bedside and started hacking at the fiends. He systematically moved through the house and killed anything that moved, some of the demons fought him, some fought each other and some just sat there and cried. The last room he reached was his sons, and above the silence he heard a laughter. As Mersin entered, Shiizzzran'dill dispelled the magics at work with a simple wink. When Mersin realised what had happened he fell to his knees. Looking at the laughing demon with contempt and resignation. "I will take my son with me. Goodbye foolish human." And for the first time he saw his son for what he was, with the wailing and moaning of his victims surrounding him like thick sea, he fell into his blade. Years later Shizzra Derl'Vurn entered the lands of the Threetowns wearing this helm with the characterstic Horns of his fiendfather.
