Rayqusa the Warlord defeated warrior after warrior, only found himself alone. he nursed desire for forbidden pain. but in a monarch of his stature, to satisfy such thirsts would have threatened the virtue of the Divine Throne itself. Therefore Rayqusa turned to his lair full of demonologists, promising freedom to whoever could summon a personal succubus of torment and bind it entirely to his service. The creature who arrived, Akasha by name, visited upon him such exquisite torments that he named her his Queen.

Raised to serve Rayqusa emptiness, Akasha desired to become pure substance once more. Driving deep into the Asgard, she was able to subdue and possess a Succubus minion. Rightly bearing the title, Queen of Pain, she enjoys nothing more than inflicting massive torment on Rayqusa, using both the poisonous of her succubus host and the vicious scream retained from her Banshee nature. Rayqusa began to spend all his spare moments submitting to Akasha clever torments, eventually abdicating all his responsibilities in his pursuit of the painful pleasures that only she could bring. Queen of Pain could bring him to the brink of death, but she was rune-bound to keep him alive. and at the moment of death, Queen of Pain was let loose into the world, freed from servitude, freed to visit her sufferings on anyone she feud.
