You were spawned in the pits of the Nine Hells. You might be a devil, or a lost soul made flesh.
During your time in Hell, to what extent were you tormented? Do you have any memory of your time there? How did you find you way to the material realm? Perhaps you escaped, or sent on a mission by a greater devil, or summoned by external forces? Are the jailors of hell in pursuit of you, checking your progress, or merely waiting your return?
