Haagenti is the Demon Lord of Alchemy and Artifice.

Description

Haagenti is rumored to be a living construct, perhaps the last surviving member of a now-extinct race forged at the dawn of time.

Relationships

Zuggtmoy is sometimes seen cavorting in his palace.

Realm

Haagenti's layer of the Abyss is catalogued as the 548th, known as Garavond. Garavond is a metallic orb within a lightless, airless void. The orb is Haagenti's fortress, laboratory, and palace, and it crawls with retrievers, clockwork horrors, golems, and more exotic constructs. When he wills it, Haagenti can fill the void around his fortress with magma, lightning, or any other element he chooses.

Garavond has no connection to the Grand Abyss, the fourth layer of the Abyss, but portals to the layer can be found in the Abyss's first layer, Pazunia, and in Shedaklah, the layer where Zuggtmoy and Juiblex contend. Haagenti's servants collect many of their lord's alchemical reagents in Shedaklah.

Apocrypha

In Armies of the Abyss (2002) by Erik Mona, Haagenti's areas of concern are said to include alchemy, wealth, transmogrification, experimentation, progress, and the creation of artificial life. He is described as resembling a great amber bull with dimly glowing, pulsating red eyes, a raspy, echoing voice, and two feathered wings.

In Lords of Chaos (2010) by James Jacobs, Haagenti's title is the Whispers Within and he is called the demon lord of alchemy, invention, and transformation. His worshipers are said to include alchemists, drow, non-werewolf lycanthropes, and shapeshifters. While his true form is said to be a winged bull, he is a shapeshifter who typically takes the form of whatever race he is interacting with. In both Armies of the Abyss and Lords of Chaos, Haagenti's realm is named Cerebulim.
