Summary
While not born as a god, demon, or devil, Samara was born to a high elven family. Her family was one famous for being powerful, renowned wizards. Demons and devils constantly vied for her soul, but she refused all contracts. Until one day, she allied herself with a former lord of hell, name burnt out of time. The contract said she would be able to use his power for as long as she was alive, and upon her death her soul would belong to him. She cast herself into undeath to become the first lich, the first of the undead.

Being in a middle ground of living death, she managed to retain all of her patron's power while still claiming her soul. She killed the giants' god, (name) and attempted to overtake his domain. The gods had little choice but to add her to the pact forcing her into the hells. She took control of the her previous master’s domain and is now the Warden of the Hells.
