Background:The man that would be known as "Astaroth" to his online church was born Leif Morgaanstern. Naturally a small boy, "Little Leitie" was the target of much abuse from his peers. The fact he was fascinated by the occult and satanism (even founding a "cult" called the Sapphic Brotherhood(?)), painfully thin and had a wormish personality did not help. He seemed to be one of those people not only destined for a life of mockery but to derserve that fate.

 

After years of beatings, Leif discovered some new obsessions, among them bodybuilding. Soon muscle rending workouts and a fondness for steroids added 10 kilos of new muscles to "Little Leitte". He then proceeded to beat the hell out of everyone he could lay his hands on. The teasing stopped. Nautilus machines and head banging weren't his only new discoveries. Leif, or "Thor" as he now called himself also took to the notion that the Christian God was a wimp fantasy. He embraced tales of pagan slaughter and high fantasy. Body art, piercing and satanism became his new calling.

 

After several uncomfortable encounters with the police, his parents tossed him into the street. Thor drifted from place to place, eventually becoming a low level enforcers with local criminals. And addicted to any number of hallucinagens and built his obsession with black magic to a new high. He also learned english and began taking "business" trips over seas quite frequently. The emergence of Novas in the world gave the wandering Thor a new goal. He wanted to become a living God.

 

In 2000, Thor met his future companion Belial at the Burning Man Festival. The two felt an immediate kinship and have been close since. In fact, it was Belial that in some ways inspired the birth of Astaroth. After ingesting six tabs of blotter acid, Thor was struck with a hellish vision in which he was gathered up by demons, dismember into five pieces and dragged threw the gates of Hell itself. The vision returned months later and continued,. This time, a voice asked what he would renounce for power. Thor answered eagerly "God, Friendship, Family and finally "Life" In that instant he was consumed by fire and reborn as his "true" self. He awoke to find his bed room charred to ashes by the "hellfire" that had followed him back. Leif (Thor) was gone. There as only Astaroth. He has taken his vision to mean that he is a Demon God, sundered into five pieces. He must gather the components of his true self to together and join them to reach his true power. The other Domitori of the Church of Astaroth are his components. Once he has them all, he will consume them in a cannibalistic ritual (they are, of course, unaware of this) Even Belial for him he does feel true affection will become one with him And then, all will feel the fires of Astaroth and know true despair!

 

Description:Astaroth has two distinct form. In his "weak" human form, he is impressive. His physique is almost grotesquely muscular and covered with twining intricate tattoos of Nordic design. He favors leather and bondage gear and bears as much as her body as possible even in the cold northern weather. A lavey goatee and an intense stare complete the demonic image. His "true" form is a scaled monstrosity, well over eight feet tall with six arms, tentacle covered face and a huge spiked penis.
