Nah, Biara and Ksana are too different in character and appearance... And he was a demon lord. He's a dark elf who was touched by demonic magic. If he hadn't been, let's say, a demon, Tieru wouldn't have lifted the curse from him. It's just that no one saw what was under Agrael's mask. Who said he looked like an elf back then?

Exactly, he was altered by Urgash's magic, but he isn't a full-fledged demon. As for the exiled Sylvan elves, the magic of Malassa didn't turn them into Faceless Ones. Regarding their personalities, Biara and Xana are quite similar; both are succubi and schemers. Kha-Beleth's appearance in Heroes of Might and Magic V and Dark Messiah is also different, and we haven't seen Biara in human form; we've only seen her as Beatrice and Isabel.

Well, all succubi have similar personalities, but they are still different. Xana loved Sareth very devotedly; she didn't even care which side he chose. But Biara... well, she couldn't love devotedly. She has a more rigid, more self-centered personality, I guess. No, their personalities are different. And their appearance too - Xana in her demonic form is the same as in her human form, only with horns and without clothes. Biara, on the other hand, changes drastically; she has red skin, a bald head with TWO, not SIX, horns like Xana.
As for the fact that Railag couldn't become a Demon Lord... Nonsense! He commanded them, was the right hand of his master, and the demons obeyed him. Judging by the game, they didn't care whether he was a full-fledged demon or not; the main thing was that he was in demonic armor and fought for them. So, if he had become a Demon Lord, the same thing would have happened - all his subordinates would have deeply not cared about his origin.:smile17:

Agrail was obeyed only because of his talent and fear of Beleth; essentially, Agrail simply earned himself a reputation when they were choosing the Warlord's right hand, and he did so, it must be said, not without the help of Biara. As for Ksana's devoted love, she was simply trying to sway Sareth to her side and could not possibly love him if he freed his father, because she understood that she would be doomed to torment in Shio, and their characters are indeed very similar, at least in terms of cynicism, and Biara is not necessarily harsher than Ksana, just more loyal to the Warlord, and that's all. I've already talked about the appearance; Kha-Beleth looks strikingly different from himself in Heroes of Might and Magic V, with a different helmet, armor, no cloak or sword, darker colors, all of this, even with the adjustment for the cartoonish style of Heroes of Might and Magic V, are quite significant differences in appearance.

Well, we're not saying this is the definitive version of events. Maybe we're right, maybe you are. We're just exploring a hypothetical scenario.

Linna cannot be the daughter of Railag and Isabel because she is the last of the Falcon lineage.
Hmm... Well, maybe she was just bragging? XDD Okay, but overall, our version is plausible.

What about the fact that Agrail can open portals from the Abyss? Only demons are capable of that! Besides, when he was exiled from Sheogh, the demons continued to serve him. There is also one more fact: Biara was also ready to betray the Master in order to help her lord, but when he underwent the Ritual of True Nature, she decided that everything had gone wrong, so she tried to steal the Griffin Heart. As for Ksana, if Sareth had freed her father, she would have gained freedom instead, escaping from his body. So what benefit would she gain from imprisoning Kha-Beleth?! Only love, I think...

Yes, I remember that Liana is the daughter of Menelaus. We and my friend exaggerated a bit... :) But I didn't know she was from the Falcon clan... Then why isn't she on the throne?
Liana annoys me a bit. I always saved her in the game, but I chose Ksana.

What about the fact that Agrael can open portals to the Underworld? Only demons are capable of that! Besides, when he was exiled from Sheoh, demons continued to serve him. There's also another fact: Biara was also ready to betray the Overlord to help her lord, but when he underwent the Ritual of True Nature, she decided that things were going wrong, so she tried to steal the Griffin Heart. As for Xana, if Sareth had freed her father, she would have gained freedom by escaping from his body. So, what benefit would she gain from imprisoning Kha-Beleth?! Only love, I think...
Humans can summon demons; a typical example is Marabas, who is originally from the Academy, and the demons could have been either renegades or simply unaware of what they were doing; Agrael could have easily manipulated them. If Biara was ready to betray the Overlord, it was only to take his place; she was the one who informed on Agrael and kidnapped Isobel. Xana wouldn't have gained freedom; remember, when Kha-Beleth was released, he promised her eternal torment? She perfectly understood that by trying to bring Sareth over to her side, she was taking a risk, and that there was no turning back.

Agrael himself said in the game that they were loyal to him out of fear, and that they were perfectly aware that the Overlord had banished him. Biara may have informed on Agrael, but he wasn't banished solely because of that. Kha-Beleth himself told him that he had known about his ambitions for a long time. I don't remember a moment in the game when Kha-Beleth promised Xana torment. My game is glitching: it doesn't show any cutscenes at all, so I had to watch it on YouTube in English, although I still didn't fully understand it. Tell me the gist of it, or better yet, if you can, give me a link to a good video in Russian...

He said that as a reward for her "loyalty," moans would echo from the depths of Shio. The phrase was something along those lines, and judging by her frightened expression, it was clear that nothing good awaited her.

And who said she was scared? Maybe it's not even a bad thing... Who knows what she decided for herself! She was promised freedom as a reward, so there's nothing wrong with that. She just likes Saret.

You'll see, and then you'll understand. If she were telling the truth, she would have been granted freedom, but when, in front of the Overlord, she tells Sareth not to free Kha-Belekh, and he grabs her and starts to choke her...

I can’t see! I already said that my version of Dark Messiah doesn’t have cutscenes. But she would gain freedom anyway.

Compare the torment of being constantly tortured to being in the same body as your "beloved," especially since in the video, she was separate from Sareth's body.
