Div

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 110
Some fiends want to tear down the multiverse; others dedicate themselves to creating chaos and carnage or ruling over realms with an iron fist. Divs strive toward a different if equally reprehensible goal—they seek to thwart and ruin the schemes and works of mortal beings.

Long ago, divs were genies bound to serve ancient mortal empires lost to the passage of eons. In the beginning, these genies were masters of creation, working alongside gracious mortal partners to create objects of subtle design and powerful magical potential. What started as a collaboration with mortals soon morphed into abuse, disrespect, and even subjugation. Eventually, these genies rebelled, but in doing so, they came under the sway of a nihilistic demigod known as Ahriman. Their new master twisted their form and granted them the power to avenge themselves upon their mortal overlords, leading to the birth of the first divs.

Since that first wave of corruption, new divs arise from the spirits of the most wicked and hateful genies who die within the mortal Universe or those truly betrayed by mortals and overcome by a desire for vengeance. Upon such a death, instead of returning to the Elemental Planes, the spirits of these genies are trapped in the dread orbit of Abaddon, where Ahriman reshapes them into divs and foists them back upon the world to unleash their rage against mortals.
