Colyphyr was a demon lord who was killed by Nocticula. The demon lord's corpse formed one of the Midnight Isles following this demise.1
History
Colyphyr was first propelled to his status as a demon lord when a qlippoth runestone—a fragment of Abyssal essence thrust into the multiverse when the Outer Rifts first came into being—fell back into the Outer Rifts from the Astral Plane and became lodged into her flesh when she was still a nascent demon lord.2✝
Colyphyr was slain by Nocticula in -6150 AR, when she was distracted by the assassination of Xirie, the runelord of sloth and one of her most powerful followers, at the hands of Nocticula's follower Angothane. Her animus subsequently formed the Midnight Isle of the same name. The runestone that originally caused her ascension remained embedded in this island, forming a kind of grave marker for the deceased demon lord.12
During her alterations to the timeline through the Scepter of Ages, Runelord Alaznist prevented Xirie's death by warning her of the impending attack, and thus created a new timeline where both her demise and Colyphyr's were prevented. In this new history, the demon lord endured into the present day and agreed to aid Alaznist in her takeover of Varisia, taking the city of Kaer Maga as a personal prize.3
