Griselbrand

Griselbrand was one of the demonic masters of Liliana Vess. He lived on Innistrad, a plane very similar to Earth in its Gothic ages. He fought archangel Avacyn and the two of them clashed, with Avacyn gaining the upperhand. He was imprisoned in the Helvault, an artifact of immense power, made of pure silver, but Griselbrand, in a last ditch effort to obtain revenge, threw his spear at Avacyn, taking her with him. Immediately after his release, Griselbrand used his freedom as an opportunity to escape Avacyn. However, Liliana tracked Griselbrand down, slaughtering both angels and demons alike and finally cornered him. Desperate, Griselbrand bribed Liliana with promises of power, but she saw through his lies and used the Chain Veil to kill him permanently.
