Warlock Lore & Background Story
Demnok Lannik discovered a demonic grimoire that bound him to an infernal golem. Now master and servant wage war together — though which one truly holds the leash is unclear. His bonds link the fates of enemies together, ensuring that when one suffers, all share the pain. The grimoire's dark magic draws from the same infernal source that empowers Shadow Demon, whose demonic manipulations are far more subtle but no less binding.
