Aliria's mother [[Viviria Servine]] used to be a warlock of Glasya, and like Aliria, had served as Glasya's courier. But on one specific job, Viviria was set to guard a [[Demon Lords|demon lord]] that had been summoned to the material realm and trapped in a summoning circle. This demon lord was the Dark Prince of Pain and Pleasure, [[Graz'zt]]. Both demon and warlock fell for one another and they conceived a child, Aliria. Graz'zt helped hide his partner and daughter in the city of [[Dolmvay]] and helped Viviria sever her pact with Glasya.

At the same time, Mammon was making payments to devils all across the Hell, including [[Bel]], Dispater, [[the Sinners League]], [[Barroth]], and many more devilish powers which were causing chaos and bringing down the price of the land, allowing Mammon to buy it up for cheap. To sustain these practices, Mammon had become an inside informant for the [[Archangel]] [[Gabriel]], giving Gabriel information about the Hells and its Archdevils in return for Celestial gold. Even more, it was Mammon who released Barroth into Malbolge, having captured the dragon's spirit years prior.
