'''Sartan, the Malevolent''' is the divine embodiment of Evil, the fusion of the [[Elder God]] [[Shaitan]] and the God [[Apollyon]]. | |||
While Shaitan was created early in the history of [[Creation]] by [[Ayar]], Apollyon was born—along with [[Aurora]]—from a celestial event involving the [[Morning Star]]. Shaitan attacked and absorbed the [[Divine essence]] of Apollyon almost at once, declaring Himself born anew as Sartan, God of [[Evil]]. | |||
As Sartan, the merciless Overlord founded His [[Evil|Seven Truths of Evil]], with which He commands His faithful from the mountain city-fortress of [[Mhaldor]]. | |||
