Tsojcanth is remembered by most as an Oeridian wizard who fought for the forces of Good, checking the schemes of Orcus, Graz'zt, and Tharizdun, and slaying a wielder of the Hand of Vecna.

This was a facade, a deception. Tsojcanth was actually the half-human son of the demon lord Fraz-Urb'luu, the Prince of Deception himself, and he sought only to eliminate those who worked against his own schemes and those of his father, not to do good.

In the 4th century CY, Iggwilv used knowledge she had gained from the Tome of Zyx to summon and bind Tsojcanth, making him her slave for several generations. In 491 CY, Graz'zt suggested to her that she could only stop the spread of a rift between the Prime Material Plane and the Abyss by binding a powerful magical entity to it. She attempted to bind Tsojcanth, but he resisted, and it left Iggwilv weary and drained before she defeated her former minion. Graz'zt attacked her next, and although she successfully destroyed the demon prince's material form, she was left almost powerless afterwards. Still she managed to bind the unconscious Tsojcanth into the planar fabric, sealing the rift for the time being.
